I'll Fly Away

Buck Norris sing the traditional Gospel tune "I'll Fly Away".
"I'll Fly Away," written by Albert E. Brumley in 1929 , is a hymn most associated with American Baptists and the Church of Christ. It is an optimistic song about an earthly death that leads to everlasting life in glory with Christ.
"I'll Fly Away" has been called the most recorded gospel music song beginning with a recording by James and Martha Carson, the "Barn Dance Sweethearts" of WSB Atlanta, in 1946, followed two years later by the Chuck Wagon Gang in 1948.
The hymn has been covered by numerous singers, but usually associated with country or gospel music, particularly the variety referred to as "shape note music".
