Gospel Ship (When We Were Travelling Through the Air) Songtext
von Joan Baez

I have the news to bring
And that is why I sing
All my joy with you I′ll share
I'm gonna take a trip on that old Gospel Ship
And go sailin′ through the air

I'm gonna take a trip on that old Gospel Ship
Goin' far beyond the sky
I′m gonna shout and sing until the bells gonna ring
When I bid this world goodbye


I can hardly 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 sailin' through the air

I′m gonna take a trip on that old Gospel Ship
Goin' far beyond the sky
I′m 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 you'd better have a care
If too much fault you find you'll sure be left behind
When I′m sailin′ through the air

I'm gonna take a trip on that old Gospel Ship
Goin′ far beyond the sky
I'm gonna shout and sing until the bells gonna ring
When I bid this world goodbye
