I'll Fly Away - Hank Williams

[wtakohead]

nobody said it better thanks Hiram

[smcconnico]

I believe this was either '49 or '51. The last song he wrote was "I saw the Light", performed it in a bar, then on the road. He passed December 12th, 1952.

[rickoroni1]

@smcconnico Ole' Hank died January 1, 1953

[Mricono1]

Great!

[dmedman50]

Nice job of "faking" the lyrics!

[Chrisda3rdson]

REALLY LIKE THIS :^)

[daemonfang6]

God Bless You Hank. I love you brother.

[MultiPinkme]

Hank wrote I saw the light and many Gospel...he wrote this I think too. He wrote gospel like a poem due to his guilt of reg. songs he wrote and strong drink....

[jdtelgren]

This song was written by Albert Brumley

[jdtelgren]

Albert Brumley also wrote a number of other favorites such as Turn Your Radio On, I'll Meet You in the Morning and a bunch of others. He was a member of the Church of Christ from Oklahoma

[ChapmanAshley08]

[pasciente]

[WrenTgerian]

[ronnieherald]

[hispana525]

my grandpa just passed and hearing this song i can just picture him dancing and singing to it going through heavens gates. luv u grampa!!

[rebelgurl333]

Hank Williams Sr. is what I was raised on, I love this song even though i'm only 15

[TheMrblazer76]

"Luke the Drifter" songs would make tears come in a taters eye. Thanks for the MUSIC.

[ronhill1693]

feel like heaven just opened th doors

[ModestCasanovaa]

Amazing <3

[mccurryburg]

[ian3754]

[James1985Smith]

[bnbl92]

My daddy sang just like Hank and now that he too is gone, I love to hear Hank to take me back to listening to my daddy. Hank was his idle

[TheGranule]

Praise the Lord!

A happy transition to all.

[MiddleMadMen]

thank you :) for this post think you lol

[5048wilder]

not many people new his goepel he was callluke the drifter

[whitediver45]

@5048wilder Did you say Luke the Drifter ? Just curious.

[transformer2you]

Love it. I want more gospel songs.

[rhvann1941]

Look for the Gaither Gospel series of CDs and DVDs. The older "Homecoming" series is the best.

[abolof]

you just gotta love luke the drifter!

[theavery0129]

this song has helped me through a lot of troubles in my life

[redneckfirefighter19]

hank didn't just didn't do great gospel songs every song he ever done was the best. he put every thing he had in to his music and as far as I see it he is the best song writer ever

[zakzero123]

I'm not a very religious man, but i grew up with this song and hank williams, so everytime i listen to i feel like a child again.

[pratsch42]

What ever happened to them drifting cowboys? And are there any Carters still making country music. A fella sure could use some cheering up now days.

[UnpluggedCrazy]

I am not a religious person by any means, but still, it has to be said: songs like this are deeply affecting on a spiritual level that those Christian pop/rock songs could never, ever attain to. This is real.

[branestorm909]

@UnpluggedCrazy i know what you mean, if it were'nt for the lyrics I wouldn't find any difference between Christian rock/pop.

[Macwhite23]

@UnpluggedCrazy It's never too late.

[wildhias]

omg why i am so intrigued by this naivite

[hanksr1fan]

Bruce Bacon sings this well , check it out at brucebacon kings trail church

[feelthesteel1991]

It would be nice if Hank III did this but he's too much of a hell bound pothead

[feelthesteel1991]

this song was in Oh Brother Where Art Thou, but with The Kossey Sisters doin it

[LovleyPuppyLove]

sounds like a cracker barrel song.

lol

[southerner343]

im not much into gospel but i still love this song. ive never heard it by Hank. Great song.

[rsandoval89]

god bless america :-)

[MoNkEyCaKeS85]

My grandpa used to sing this to me while playing his guitar...very fond memories :)

[wilsonmcphert]

Fantastic!

[cowboytony47]

very awesome song

[brad6100]

I love that 'O brother, where are thou' brought so many of these old songs and depression era songs back! Young kids were singing this and others from that movie! My house was built in '29, and I often wonder what the original owners were listening to back then.

[dimeterius]

It doesn't get better than this. Good song.

[harrypridemore]

ive got syringomeylia similar to spina bofida how hank stood it i dont know

[SpeedyNeutrino43]

Hank suffered from spina bifida and was in contant pain which he self medicated with alcohol and pain pills. He didn't have an easy life.

[300man04]

Im a death metal fan and i think this is a great artist.

[pop794corima]

I want a 10 gallon Hat

[harrypridemore]

there ain't nothing like hank doing gosple, he put so much heart in it, hank was a christian at heart he just couldn't take the pain i know i got a disease similar to his and beleive me he suffered.

[cutemoguy]

is there a clearer version of this song by Hank Williams ?

[mudspud01]

my family used to play and sing this song all the time , my great grand mother and her sisters while my great uncles would play banjo and piano and guitar and my great grand father would play fiddle ! in west virginia i wish i couldv seen it now they can barely sing....

[333kerry]

God bless Alabama's finest.

[fanna1916]

I remember Dad singing this when i was growing up. He loved it!!!

[isaacjamesshaw]

[Hysteriabelle70]
