Chorus:
I'm a gonna take a trip
In the good old gospel ship
I'm goin' far beyond the sky
I'm a gonna shout and sing
Until all the Heavens ring
When I bid this old world goodbye
I have good news to bring
And that is why I sing
All my joys with you I'd like to share
Oh, I'm a gonna take a trip
In the good old gospel ship
And go sailin' through the air.
Chorus
Ooh ah yeah yeah
Oh, I can scarcely wait
I know I don't wanna be late
For I want to spend all my time in prayer
And a when my ship comes in
I'm a gonna leave this world of sin
And go sailin' through the air.
