'Tis the old ship of Zion,
'Tis the old ship of Zion,
'Tis the old ship of Zion,,
Get on board, get on board.
1 It has landed many a thousand,
It has landed many a thousand,
It has landed many a thousand,
Get on board, get on board.
2 Ain't no danger in the water,
Ain't no danger in the water,
Ain't no danger in the water,
Get on board, get on board.
3 It was good for my dear mother,
It was good for my dear mother,
It was good for my dear mother,
Get on board, get on board.
4 It was good for my dear father,
It was good for my dear father,
It was good for my dear father,
Get on board, get on board.
5 It will take us all to heaven,
It will take us all to heaven,
It will take us all to heaven,
Get on board, get on board.
