Early in the morning
When the church bells toll
The choirs gonna sing
And the hearse will roll
On down to the graveyard
Where its cold and gray
And then the suns gonna shine
Through the shadows
When I go away
Dont want no sorrow
For this old orphan boy
I dont want no crying
Only tears of joy
Im gonna see my mother
Gonna see my father
And Ill be bound for glory
In the morning
When I go away
Ill be lifted up to the clouds
On the wings of angels
Theres only flesh and bones
In the ground
Where my troubles will stay
See that storm over yonder
Its gonna rain all day
But then the suns gonna shine
Through the shadows
When I go away
Im going home – Lift me up
When I go away
No more trouble – Im going home
Lift me up – When I go away
No more crying
Im going home – Lift me up – When I go away
No more trials
Im going home
Home to leave my worries in the ground
Im going home – Lift me up – When I go away
No more troubles
Im going home – Lift me up – When I go away
No more crying
Im going home – Lift me up – When I go away
No more trials
Im going home
Home to leave my worries in the graveyard
Home to leave my troubles in the graveyard
Home to leave my trials
And Ill 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
Were gonna meet up there
When they lay me in the cold ground
Bow your heads and pray
Bow your heads and pray
And Ill be bound for glory
In the morning
When I go away
And then the suns gonna shine
Through the shadows
When I go away
Im going home – Lift me up
When I go away
No more trouble – Im going home
Lift me up – When I go away
No more crying
Im going home – Lift me up – When I go away
No more trials
Im going home
Home to leave my worries in the graveyard
Im going home – Lift me up – When I go away
No more troubles
Im going home – Lift me up – When I go away
No more crying
Im going home – Lift me up – When I go away
No more trials
Im going home
Home to leave my worries in the graveyard
Home to leave my troubles in the graveyard
Home to leave my trials
And Ill be bound for glory
In the morning
When I go away
And then the suns 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
