Lyrics When I Go Away - The Nighthawks

Early in the morning
When the church bell tolls
The choir's gonna sing
And the hearse will roll
On down to the graveyard
Where it's cold and gray
But then the sun's gonna shine through the shadows
When I go away

Don't want no sorrow
For this old orphan boy
Don't want no crying
Only tears of joy
I'm gonna see my mother
I'm gonna see my father
And I'll be bound for glory in the morning
When I go away

Now, I'll be lifted up to the clouds
On the wings of angels
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 pain, Lord (When I go home)
No more trial (When I go home)
No more pain, y'all (When I go home)
No more trial (When I go home)
Going to leave my worries in the graveyard
Going to leave my worries in the graveyard
Going to leave my worries in the graveyard
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
'Cause I'll be bound for glory in the morning
When I go away

No more pain, Lord (When I go home)
No more trial (When I go home)
No more pain, y'all (When I go home)
No more trial (When I go home)
Going to leave my worries in the graveyard
Going to leave my worries in the graveyard
Going to leave my worries in the graveyard
And I'll be bound for glory in the morning
When I go away

But then the sun's gonna shine through the shadows
When I go away
Ah, when I go away
When I go away
Ah, when I go away
When I go away
