Lyrics
Well May the World Go
Chorus:
Well may the world go, the world go, the world go
Well may the world go, when I’m far away.
Well may the skiers turn,
The swimmers churn, the lovers burn
Peace, may the generals learn
When I’m far away.
Sweet may the fiddle sound
The banjo play the old hoe down
Dancers swing round and round
When I’m far away.
Fresh may the breezes blow
Clear may the streams flow
Blue above, green below
When I’m far away.
I’ll Fly Away
One glad mornin’when my work is over
I’ll fly away
To that home on God’s celestial shore
I’ll fly away
Oh I’ll fly away
In the mornin’ children
I’ll fly away
When I die
Hallelujah by and by
I’ll fly away
