Refrain
Gonna fly, fly away, fly over the mountain
Gonna fly, fly away, fly over the sea
Gonna keep flyin’ aroun’ and never, never come down
‘Cause the big blue sky is the place for me

  1. Got a gal out in Wyoming and a gal in Tennessee
    There’s one thing they’ve got in common
    They want no part of me
    Oh, a gal here on earth
    Is more trouble that she’s worth
    So, I’ll leave ’em all behind, yes-siree
  2. You will find me playin’ leap-frog
    With the man up in the moon
    Have myself a time each evenin’
    And sleep each day till noon
    And the bluebirds, I bet
    Let me sing in their quartette
    And we’ll harmonize a barber shop tune
  3. Gonna hobnob with the angels
    Who could want a better crowd?
    Gonna dance all over Heaven
    And, boy, will I be proud
    Gonna play peek-a-boo
    With the stars up in the blue
    And when I get tired I’ll rest on a cloud

Last Refrain
Gonna fly, fly away, fly over the mountain
Gonna fly, fly away, fly over the sea
Gonna keep flyin’ aroun’ and never, never come down
‘Cause the big blue sky is the place for me
