Early in the morning when the church bells toll The choir's going to sing, and the hearse will roll On down to the graveyard, where it's cold and grey 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 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 through 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
No more troubles No more crying No more trials I'm going home to leave my worries in the graveyard Home to leave my troubles in the graveyard Home to leave to my trials... And I'll be bound for glory in the morning when I go away
All my kin who loves me, all my friends who care Look beyond the dark clouds, we're gonna meet up there When they lay me in teh cold ground, bow your heads and pray 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.
