Joan Baez

(H. Buffum)
I have the news to bring
And that is why I sing
All my joy with you Ill share
Im gonna take a trip on that old Gospel Ship
And go sailin through the air
Im gonna take a trip on that old Gospel Ship
Goin far beyond the sky
Im gonna shout and sing until the bells gonna ring
When I bid this world goodbye
I can hardly wait
I know I wont be late
Ill spend my time in prayer
And when the ship comes in, Ill leave this world of sin
And go sailin through the air
Im gonna take a trip on that old Gospel Ship
Goin far beyond the sky
Im gonna shout and sing until the bells gonna ring
When I bid this world goodbye
If you are ashamed of me
You ought not to be
And youd better have a care
If too much fault you find youll sure be left behind
When Im sailin through the air
Im gonna take a trip on that old Gospel Ship
Goin far beyond the sky
Im gonna shout and sing until the bells gonna ring
When I bid this world goodbye
