A
I have good news to bring, and that is why I sing,
E
All my joys with you I'll share.
A
I'm gonna take a trip in that old gospel ship,
E A
And go sailing through the air.
<Chorus>:
A
I'm gonna take a trip in that old gospel ship,
E
I'm going far beyond the sky.
A
I'm gonna shout and sing 'til the bell done ring,
E A
When I bid this world goodbye.
A
I can hardly wait, I know I won't be late,
E
I'll spend my time in prayer.
A
And when the ship comes in, I'll leave this world of sin,
E A
And go sailing through the air.
<Chorus>
A
If you are ashamed of me, you ought not to be,
E
And you'd better have a care.
A
If too much fault you find, you will sure be left behind,
E A
When I'm sailing through the air.
<Chorus>
