Lyrics

I'm on my way, now

And I won't turn back

I'm on my way, oh

And I won't turn back

I'm on my way and I won't turn back

I'm on my way, glory, hallelujah

I'm on my way

Well I would ask my mother: "Why don't you go with me"

I will ask my mother: "Come on and go with me"

I'll ask my mother: "Come on and go with me"

I'm on my way, glory, hallelujah

I'm on my way

Well I would ask my boss: "Why don't you let me go"

I will ask my boss: "Why don't you let me go"

I'll ask my boss: "Oh, why don't you let me go"

Oh, I'm on my way, glory, hallelujah

I'm on my way

Well if he says: "No", now

I would go anyhow, now

If he said: "No"

Yes, I would go anyhow

Well, if he said: "No"

I would go anyhow

I'm on my way, glory, hallelujah

I'm on my way

Well, I'm on my way, now

And I won't turn back, now

I'm on my way

And I won't turn back, now

Yes, I'm on my way

And I won't turn back

I'm on my way, glory, hallelujah

I'm on my way

Yes, I'm on my way

And I won't turn back, now

Yes, I'm on my way

And, I
