When I Go Away

[Verse 1] Early in the morning When the church bell 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 [Verse 2] Don't want no sorrow For this old orphan girl Don't want no crying Only tears of joy (Ooh) Gonna see my mother Gonna see my father And I'll be bound for glory in the morning When I go away [Bridge] 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, yeah, yeah [Verse 3] See the storm over yonder It's gonna rain all day, uh-huh But then the sun's gonna shine through the shadows When I go away [Bridge] (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 [Verse 4] 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 [Bridge] (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 the sun's gonna shine through the shadows When I go away [Outro] 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, hey, hey, go away
