7* -8   -8   -8  7*  -8
I have good news to bring
-8   8*  8* -8  7* 6
And that is why I sing
-4  -4  6    7*  8*-8 7*   -6*
All my joys with you I’ll share
 7*  -8   -8  -8  7* -8
I’m going to take a trip
-8 -8   8* -8   7*  6
In the Old Gos-pel ship
 7* -7  -8  -7     7*   -6*  6
And go sail-ing through the air

7* -8 -8  -8  -8  7* -8
O I’m gon-na take a trip
-8 -8   8*   8* -8   7*  6
In the good Old Gos-pel Ship

I’m go-ing far be-yond the sky
7* -7 -8  -8  -8    7*  -8
O I’m gon-na shout and sing

Un-til the heav-ens ring
 7*  -7  -8   -8   -7    7*  -6*  6
When I’m bid-ding this world good-by
