"On My Way" is aLouis Armstrong song that appeared on the albumLouis and the Good Book in 1958 and was issued with "I'll String Along with You" as a single in 1959.[1] It features a solo section with Louis andTrummy Young.[2]
A variant of "I'm on My Way", Armstrong's version starts with "On My Way" or "I'm on My Way" (or similar phrases in various versions) and then goes into a chorus "On my way now, got on my traveling shoes...".
The song is no relation to "Oh, Lawd, I'm on My Way!", a song sung byElla Fitzgerald the previous year (1957) on thePorgy and Bess album by Fitzgerald and Armstrong. That song begins: "Porgy and all, I'm on my way to a heav'nly lan'".[3]
