Early in the morning
|
When the church bells toll
|
The choir's gonna sing
|
And the hearse will roll
|
On down to the graveyard
|
Where it's cold and gray
|
And then the sun's gonna shine
|
Through the shadows
|
When I go away
|
|
Don't want no sorrow
|
For this old orphan boy
|
I don't want no crying
|
Only tears of joy
|
I'm gonna see my mother
|
Gonna see my father
|
And I'll be bound for glory
|
In the morning
|
When I go away
|
|
I'll be lifted up to the clouds
|
On the wings of angels
|
There's only flesh and bones
|
In the ground
|
Where my troubles will stay
|
|
See that storm over yonder
|
It's gonna rain all day
|
But then the sun's gonna shine
|
Through the shadows
|
When I go away
|
|
(I'm going home - Lift me up)
|
When I go away
|
(No more trouble - I'm going home)
|
(Lift me up - When I go away)
|
No more crying
|
(I'm going home - Lift me up - When I go away)
|
No more trials
|
(I'm going home)
|
Home to leave my worries in the ground
|
(I'm going home - Lift me up - When I go away)
|
No more troubles
|
(I'm going home - Lift me up - When I go away)
|
No more crying
|
(I'm going home - Lift me up - When I go away)
|
No more trials
|
(I'm going home)
|
Home to leave my worries in the graveyard
|
Home to leave my troubles in the graveyard
|
Home to leave my trials
|
And I'll be bound for glory
|
In the morning
|
When I go away
|
|
All my kin who love me
|
All my friends who care
|
Look beyond the dark clouds
|
We're gonna meet up there
|
|
When they lay me in the cold ground
|
Bow your heads and pray
|
(Bow your heads and pray)
|
|
And I'll be bound for glory
|
In the morning
|
When I go away
|
|
And then the sun's gonna shine
|
Through the shadows
|
When I go away
|
|
(I'm going home - Lift me up)
|
When I go away
|
(No more trouble - I'm going home)
|
(Lift me up - When I go away)
|
No more crying
|
(I'm going home - Lift me up - When I go away)
|
No more trials
|
(I'm going home)
|
Home to leave my worries in the graveyard
|
(I'm going home - Lift me up - When I go away)
|
No more troubles
|
(I'm going home - Lift me up - When I go away)
|
No more crying
|
(I'm going home - Lift me up - When I go away)
|
No more trials
|
(I'm going home)
|
Home to leave my worries in the graveyard
|
Home to leave my troubles in the graveyard
|
Home to leave my trials
|
And I'll be bound for glory
|
In the morning
|
When I go away
|
|
And then the sun's gonna shine
|
Through the shadows
|
When I go away
|
Ah, when I go away
|
When I go away
|
(When I go away)
|
When I go away
|
(When I go away)
|
When I go away
|
