Frank Hamilton played banjo on this at the Old Town School of Folk Music in 1957. It&#8217;s a funny song written by James Stevens, the man who made Paul Bunyan famous. Loggers are a tough bunch according to this song and it&#8217;s probably true given [...]]]></description>

 Mp3: I&#8217;ll Fly Away 


This grand old gospel song has been sung for generations in the southern United States. I married a southern woman in 1978 and soon learned to pronounce words that I had always thought should have one syllable with the proper two syllables.

Originally recorded by Bascom Lamar Lunsford &#8211; February 1928 in Ashland, Kentucky. I learned this song from the Harry Smith Anthology. What I love most about it is its melodic chorus.
