Some glad morning when this life is over
I'll fly away
To a home on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away

I'll fly away, o Glory
I'll fly away (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, bye and bye
I'll fly away

When the shadows of this life are gone
I'll fly away
Like a bird from prison bars has flown
I'll fly away

I'll fly away, o Glory
I'll fly away (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, bye and bye
I'll fly away

Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joy shall never end
I'll fly away

I'll fly away, o Glory
I'll fly away (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, bye and bye
I'll fly away

Johnny Cash (26 February 1932 – 12 September 2003) was an iconic singer and songwriter who primarily operated in the genre of country music, but was an integral figure in the popularization of rock and roll. One of the most influential musicians of the 20th century, he was inducted into the country, rock and roll and gospel Music Hall of Fame.

Known for his somber and humble stage demeanor, he almost always started his concerts with a simple “Hello, I’m Johnny Cash.”

Much of his catalog focuses on the human condition, sorrow, oppression and the hope of redemption. And his catalog is huge, rivaling that of Hank Williams Sr., David Bowie and Prince. Starting in the 50s and ending just before his death in 2003, his deep baritone voice is instantly recognized by music lovers the world over.
