When I Go Away

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
 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 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 - 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
