Gospel Ship Lyrics - Singles - Carter Family

I'm going to take a trip in that old gospel ship 

I'm a-going far beyond the sky 

I'm gonna shout and sing til heaven rings 

When I hid this world goodbye 

I have good news to bring, and that is why I sing 

All my joys with you I'll share 

I'm going to take a trip in that old gospel ship 

And go sailing through the air 

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

I'll spend my time in prayer 

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

And go sailing through the air 

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

Yes, you'd better have a care 

If too much fault you find, you will sure be left behind 

While I'm sailing through the air
