Gonna fly fly away over the mountain   Gonna fly fly away over the sea   Gonna keep flying around and never never come down   'Cause the big blue sky is the place for me      Got a gal out in Wyoming and a gal in Tennessee   One thing they got in common they want no part of me   Oh a girl here on earth is more trouble than she's worth   So I'll leave them all behind yesiree      (Gonna fly fly away over the mountain) (DM) Mountain   (Both) Gonna fly fly away over the sea   (Both) Gonna keep flying around and never never come down   (Both) 'Cause the big blue sky is the place for me      You will find me playing leap frog with the man up in the moon   Have myself a time each evening sleep each day 'til noon   And the bluebirds I'll bet let sing in their quartet   And we'll harmonize a barbershop too      (Both) Gonna fly fly away over the mountain   (Both) Gonna fly fly away over the sea   (Both) Gonna keep flying around and never never come down   (Both) 'Cause the big blue sky is the place for me      Gonna hobknob with the angels who would 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      Gonna fly fly away over the mountain   Gonna fly fly away over the sea   Gonna keep flying around and never never come down   'Cause the big blue sky is the place I want to be   Gonna fly away over the sea   Yes the big blue sky is the place for me
