Well, I'm gonna take a trip in that good old gospel ship,
And I am going far beyond the sky,
I'm gonna shout and sing 'til all the heavens ring,
When I am bidding this old world goodbye.
I have good news to bring, that is why I sing,
All of my joy, with you, I'd like to share,
'Cause then when my ship comes in, I'm gonna leave this world of sin,
And I'm going sailing through the air.
Well, I'm gonna take a trip in that good old gospel ship,
I am going far beyond the sky,
Yes, and I'm gonna shout and sing 'til all the heavens ring,
And then I am bidding this old world goodbye.
Goodbye, ya'll.
Well, I'm gonna take a trip in that good old gospel ship,
And I am going far beyond the sky,
I'm gonna shout and sing 'til all the heavens ring,
When I am bidding this old world goodbye.
I can scarcely wait, you know I don't want to be late,
I want to spend my time in prayer,
Yes, and when my ship comes in, I wanna leave this world of sin,
And I'm going sailing through the air.
I'm gonna take a trip in that good old gospel ship,
And I am going far beyond the sky,
I'm gonna shout and sing 'til all the heavens ring,
When I am bidding this old world goodbye.
Goodbye, ya'll.
I'm gonna take a trip...gonna take a trip in that good old gospel ship,
And I am going beyond the sky,
I'm gonna shout and sing until all the heavens ring,
When I am bidding this old world goodbye,
Goodbye, ya'll,
Oh, don't you want to go with me?
Goodbye.
