When I Go Away Songtext
Early in the morning
A-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
A-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 girl
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 an angel
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)
No more trouble (I'm going home)
No more crying
(I'm going home)
No more trials
(I'm going home) home to meet my worries in the graveyard
(I'm going home)
No more trouble
(I'm going home)
No more crying
(I'm going home)
No more trials
(I'm going home) home to meet my worries in the graveyard
Home to meet my troubles in the graveyard
Home to meet 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)
No more trouble
(I'm going home)
No more crying
(I'm going home)
No more trials
(I'm going home) home to meet my worries in the graveyard
(I'm going home)
No more trouble
(I'm going home)
No more crying
(I'm going home)
No more trials
(I'm going home) home to meet my worries in the graveyard
Home to meet my troubles in the graveyard
Home to meet 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
When I go away
When I go away
(When I go away)
When I go away
(When I go away)
When I go away
(When I go away)
When I go away
(When I go away)
When I go away
(When I go away)
When I go away
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 an angel
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)
No more trouble (I'm going home)
No more crying
(I'm going home)
No more trials
(I'm going home) home to meet my worries in the graveyard
(I'm going home)
No more trouble
(I'm going home)
No more crying
(I'm going home)
No more trials
(I'm going home) home to meet my worries in the graveyard
Home to meet my troubles in the graveyard
Home to meet 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)
No more trouble
(I'm going home)
No more crying
(I'm going home)
No more trials
(I'm going home) home to meet my worries in the graveyard
(I'm going home)
No more trouble
(I'm going home)
No more crying
(I'm going home)
No more trials
(I'm going home) home to meet my worries in the graveyard
Home to meet my troubles in the graveyard
Home to meet 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
When I go away
When I go away
(When I go away)
When I go away
(When I go away)
When I go away
(When I go away)
When I go away
(When I go away)
When I go away
(When I go away)
When I go away
