Joan Baez - Old Gospel Ship lyrics

I have good new to bring and that is why I sing

All my joys with you I will share

I'm gonna take a trip on that old gospel ship

And go sailing through the air

Chorus

I'm gonna take a trip on that old gospel ship

I'm going far beyond the sky

I'm gonna shout and sing, until the bells do ring

When I'm sailing through the sky

If you are ashamed of me, you ought not to be

And you better have a care

If too much fault you find, you'll sure be left behind

When I'm sailing through the air

I can hardly wait, I know I won't be late

I'll spend all my time in prayer

And when my ship comes in, I'll leave this world of sin

And go sailing through the air
