IT'S the old ship of Zion, It's the old ship of Zion, It's the old ship of Zion, Get on board, get on board.

It has landed my old father, It has landed my old father, It has landed my old father, Get on board, get on board.

Won't that be a happy meeting! Won't that be a happy meeting! Won't that be a happy meeting! On the other shore.

That bright day may be tomorrow, That bright day may be tomorrow, That bright day may be tomorrow, On the other shore.
