[CharlieBarkinTheDog]

[drinkmo]

i just listened to this song like 40 times

[SlyFox70100]

Heres to GOOD country from the time when country was real

[Tyrant2PointO]

@m3devac: also look who you are talking about. Pop is meant to garnish money; gospel singers cater to smaller crowds for inspiration. Personally as long as the world loves what I do, I'm satisfied whether I live in Britain or po-dunk Alabama in a box. U can't put a price on human compassion and love

[ian09271]

How do ladies? Name a Pete! Lol, love the film.

[Mr4yOK]

Crazy Good Song. I love the part where she flies away.

My mother used to sing this song all the time.

RIP mom!



[oscarlovenessa]

this is going to be played at my funeral and everyone will be a weeping and a wailing, if they arent they can p off to someone elses party

[7959225]

One day........I'll fly away........and I will see all my loved ones who have flown before me.......Praise God!

[Rovahead]

@7959225 I'm sure they're looking forward to that.. There'll be thousands of your ancestors 'up there' with nothing else to do but wait for you!.. On the other hand, You might just die and there'll be nothing.. And you won't know, cos you'll be dead!

[7959225]

@Rovahead ....Well, I believe that Jesus has gone on to prepare for those who believe, a place in Heaven...If I am right, I have everything to gain, if I am wrong, I have nothing to lose...But I feel very strongly in God, and I have given my life for service for Him, Rovahead. I appreciate your comment, and I pray that you also, have found peace with the Lord in your life. God bless you, and yours..and Merry CHRISTmas to you!!

[dustjunky2000]

Agree this is WAY better than the soundtrack version.

[erntemashine]

@dustjunky2000 Yeah! The one on your channel is way better.

We are not here to curse the darkness. We are here to light a candle.

Thats Minnileus Pappy "Pass the biscuits" O'Daniel. And he'd appreciate it if youd ate his Farinha and voted him a second term!

[confusedirishman]

profoundly comforting

[darkhorse5476]

I would like this song, please!

[bagomir]

I dunno but I can relate this song to slavery, then it makes sence ;)

[bkkilla88]

You don't say much my friend, but when you do it's to the point, and I salute you for it.~ Big Dan T

'quote from the movie'

[DCNewport1957]

Thank you for this post. I agree with you completely. I have for years been disapointed that this was not the recording on the soundtrack.

[dpkastel]

"You two are just dummer'n a bag o' hammers!"

[poothrowingape]

ugh! this crow tastes terrible!!! lol description humor

[feloneousX1]

"I'll be a son of a bitch, Delmar's been saved."

[HBCOOL123456789]

Y is there so much fighting on this? I love this song and is a great classic hymn! Ive sang it all my life and is my great grandmas, grandpas, dads, and my favorite hymn!

[Perid0tStar]

my mother says that my great-grandma used to sing this :3

[MetalMilitiaTROOP96]

Okay, okay. No more Lookin on the past. Let's look at today and wait for the day we all will join God. I was born in Tupelo, Mississippi and eventually moved to Erie, Pennsylvania. Although I prefer the South(Movin to Nashville when I'm 18) both regions have their ups and downs. And please BUY the song from ITunes or buy the movie soundtrack. God bless all of you.

[sharkboy85]

I remember listening to this while driving with my mom on our way to lay my grandfather to rest through the American Midwest. I'll never get those times back :(

[wolfman5ty]

i loove this movie of all times

[krnannable]

illl fly aaway

[wesleywigington]

my great grandom mom used to sing this to me rip she died last year she lived to be 100

[italianguerrilla]

@wesleywigington

you've been very lucky, chap!

[Andreas748]

Is this music from the 30's? I guess depression and bad times makes for great music....

[M3devac]

@Andreas748

This album was recorded in 1957.

And for people wanting to "share" a copy of this song, please just go on iTunes and pay for their song.

I don't give a sh*t if you pirate Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, or Rihanna because those bitches are waaaay over-paid and over-exposed. Meanwhile, The Kossoy Sisters today are playing in dingy little cafe's and libraries in the country. Please give them a little support if you like their music.

[lillekimmer]

"Damn! We're in a tight spot!"

[iLovedandLost]

@lillekimmer Haha that was my favorite part!



[FancyGapClawhammer]

One of the only majorly recorded versions of this song with a clawhammer/old time banjo. I love it!

[kennysdaman]

great tune!

[p0kem0n121]

my god love it! i want it!

[MrBobinks]

I stand corrected. The name is Albert E Brumley. He wrote the song in 1929, as I saw it on another post. Mrbobinks

[MrBobinks]

What a wonderful song and version. The song was composed by Albert P Brumley of Powell, Mo. in the early part of the last century.  He grew up in the eastern part of Mc Donald county long after the Civil war. There is now a Albert Brumley festival in Springdale, Arkansas in the summer, if I am not mistaken. Mrbobinks

[lehacarpenter]

I agree--this is the best version ever.

[graphitemonsta]

i would love to have this song! 8D

[Benj888]

True American Music.

[wcgator1996]

Yes this is a religious song, but dont let your self righteousness get in the way of truth. This was originally sang by slaves in the south where they were oppressed to incredible means. So when your southern congregation meets and you get get a spiritual feeling from this song, remember a young black woman was singing this in hopes she could actually fly away.

[ZackAttack261]

yes but just because your southern doesn't mean your a racist slave owner in fact only 2% of the south was slave owners... and black people are as southern as white folk. You people need to stop demoniziing the south because the north owned slave no to far in the past too and they were JUST as racist even MORE so after the civil war...

[Influx27]

@ZackAttack261 then again the rich slave owners also pushed poor whites to become racist. They created cheap incentives (a bit of land, a gun) to help ensure they too were racist, thus making poor whites significantly less likely to join/help black slaves in escaping.

Oh, and while the north was certainly not a well spring of tolerance, at the same time the white community didn't routinely hang, oil, and burn negroes that refused to play the subservient fool.

Food for thought.

[ZackAttack261]

@Influx27 No blacks were beaten to death and frowned upon because alot started moving up north after the war but it was short lived ... but the south continued

[guitarman0551]

@wcgator1996 I suggest that before you post something you might want to get your facts straight first. This song was not originally sung by slaves in the south. It was written in 1929 by Albert E. Brumley and first published in 1932. The idea for this hymn was taken from a single line of a secular ballad called "The Prisoner's Song" that went, "'If I had the wings of an angel, over these prison walls I would fly,'. The lyrics of this hymn, "I'll Fly Away", deal with the Rapture.

[wwe3378]

@wcgator1996 nice song

anf its true story right !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

of merisible life

well life its not for long

[xxmaxexstreamxx]

@wcgator1996 black men and women may have sung this song during the times of slavary in hopes of escapeing the dark times. this song was also sung in churches during that time period also and at funerals.

[thumlyly]

It is 'wcgator1996's self-righteousness that makes him hunt for excuses to glorify blacks at the expense of any facts about them now or any time of their actual history. The hatred that truly was directed by whites to Negroes is now turned against whites and history and facts. There are no facts about what black slaves sang that support his claims. He makes the claims only to parade his now-proper status.

Meanwhile, this is a wonderful song, religious or not. Let's hush, and listen, again.

[crystaljones30]

Makes Ya Want to sing!

[sashabrooklyneleanor]

if anyone could tell me which scene this song is in (in the movie brother where art thou) they would be greatly appreciated

[miumi77]

@sashabrooklyneleanor

it is when they r just skimming through showing what they are doing and right before they see the sirens who sing the devil's lullaby.

[sashabrooklyneleanor]

@miumi77 many thanks

[krnannable]

luv this song

[arockybeavers]

this song was sung at a funeral that i recently attended... and as soon as the chorus hit the whole church was overtaken and overwhelmed with an uplifting glory of god. i know the very special woman who passed was content with the mourning of her departure and the celebration for her arrival into gods great home

[Euph662]

Kanye copied this song on his College Dropout album. WOW!

[okifrenchy]

The old church ladies sang it friday for my wife grandma funeral, that was so beautiful. I, the arrogant frenchman, was crying like a little girl in a little church of Muskogee, Ok.

May God bless America and its people.

[catholicrik]

watch yer language young man this is a respectable establishment...

[trottheblackdog]

This song reminds me of my dear grandma that passed back in '92. She was 6 years from 100. Can't hear this one without getting somethin in my eyes for some reason...

[tellittotherain]

Somehwere there must be away to dream myself away to this peacefull place, the tears of purity just drip from these angels, people listen and please turn the world back to the Lord, a crying nation awaits its salvaltion from the vitriol and hate that has too often swallowed up the good men and women with the bad

[kerelberel]

I've sent you a pm several weeks ago. Are you still on this account?

[sheikhyaboooty]

It wasn`t just me then that was disappointed when I bought the soundtrack and found the wrong version on it. Its not only the voices on this one that are sweeter but its also the banjo playing along rather than the full band on the soundtrack CD.

[sublimekg]

gopher Everett?

[88Jako]

the question is....why they didnt put this version on the soundtrack???

[aemypops]

lovely...just lovely

[macmiersen]

hi, could you please send a copy when you have a chance, i cant find this version anywhere, this version is so good!

[PNKEEE07]

@LadyHannahGaGa just use video 2 mp3.net to convert this song to a mp3. it's really easy!

[MrFooknuts]

Mrs. Hogwallop up and R-U-N-N-O-F-T.

[littlemexicankid]

what key is this version in?

[hillbillytenorino]

Yeah-I love this version, and was VERY bummed when I listened to the soundtrack and they used a different version. Thanks for posting!

[LadyHannahGaGa]

Hey!!! May I please have this version of the song?? The one on iTunes sucks and I LOVE this version!!! It's do awesome!!! Thank you!

[dacodoco]

my beard itches everett

[joepescifromcasino]

[edwardianeccentric]

I was very upset when I got the soundtrack, this was one of the songs I most wanted exactly as it was in the movie! Very pleased it'sup here, thank you!

[DeepSouth02]

Just wonderful :-)

[OdolWAAAAGH]

"Gofer Everett?"

[dpost86]

@twiskins lol



[Peeeg]

@twiskins I think a third of a Gofer will only arouse my appetite without bedding it back down again.

[twiskins]

@Peeeg Me and Pete already had one, we came across..a whole...Gofer...village.

[magicmark1292]

@twiskins

Gopher would only arouse my appetite.

[Streetrod9183]

@twiskins No thankya. xD

[marioperezgmail]

[MarcusDubya77]

please send me a copy .

[LopezdudeChris]

The movie is so awsome

[dervogelfliegt]

I just downloaded the "O brother" soundtrack and was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED to hear the version included in the soundtrack....... this original version is FAR SUPERIOR.

[DrafiDeutscher]

I wonder why they put the version of Alison Kraus and Gillian Welch on the Soundtrack although this one is beeing played in the movie. I like this one much better

Sry for my english, btw I'm from Germany.

Greetings

[stardustastronette]

I love this song and I normally do not like old timey country or religious songs. My grandmother loved O' Brother Where Art Thou and especially this song. So after she died, my aunt and uncle had called their church to ask if they would sing this song at a service. Which they did, I was totally blown away and it was incredibly heartfelt. I want this played at my funeral. :)

[stardustastronette]

Actually scratch that, I do like old music like this.

[IntristicValue]

@stardustastronette - it was this kind of music that spawned Elvis Presley and everything country... Even the R&B stuff has it's roots in the church

[stardustastronette]

@IntristicValue No doubt! Some of the greatest musicians of the 40s and 50's were raised on church songs like this. I love that!

[Romamb]

remarkable harmonising. simple yet perfect banjo too

[Romamb]

fantastic, its a pleasure to listen to this version. the girls got it spot on! gotta love that banjo xxx

[glasur33]

The version from the film is a thousand times better!!! Thank you so much for uploading!!

It's on itunes folks! Listed under Kossoy Sisters!

[glasur33]

The version from the film is a thousand times better!!! Thank you so much for uploading!!

[Cainefan]

I'm a huge fan of Alison Krauss and she OWNS just about every song she covers...but this is DEFINITELY the best!

[ksmithers88]

i just came.

[devourage]

This is the version that should have 1.2 million hits.

[Smasher5257]

Love it!

[machoguy94]

This is deff. how it should be sang!

[oldstylelife]

i love o brother where art thou and this version of i'll fly away is way better than allison

[cheesymcdiddy]

I like this one, but I also think Allison Krauss does an excellent version too. But still this one is better

[MrtyMrtn]

send me a copy

[NYCPulpHero]

@MrtyMrtn email me!

[Cerise3634]

Hallelujah in the morn in!!

[bamseescratch]

I'm a young person, but gosh darn it, this song is so addictive! I used to hear my momma sing it while ironing, I like hearing her sing it more of course, I guess that's how children are eh. :)

[xxxocsxxx]

best version ever! please send me one at xxxocsxxx at yahoo dot com. thanks!

[MILdoeswork]

Try the "Kossey Sister's" website for both of their CD's. Also can be downloaded from amazon.

[graphitemonsta]

this version of the song is sooooooo much better.

[MyNegr0]

Can you please hook me up with this glorious song...cmkoch3@uky.edu

[FordMotorCompany96]

the other version sucks, this version is much much better the only catch is that it is very very hard to find it

[SyvetheShairks]

Amen, brother. This version is glorious!

[demgal888]

My favorite version of this tune, I once had a Kossoy Sisters LP which included this!

[morroyce21]

The song that I want played at my funeral.

[tweakfreak87]

@morroyce21 i agree totally. this is a great hymn. our (very small) choir sang it in church and it was instantly a favorite of mine.

[NYCPulpHero]

Who wants this? EMAIL ME!!!!!!!
