lyrics

I [C]have good news to bring, and [F]that is why I [C]sing
All my joy with you I will [G7]share
I'm [C]gonna take a trip on that [F]old Gospel [C]Ship
And go sailin' [G7]through the [C]air

I'm [F]gonna take a trip on that [C]old gospel ship;
I'm going far beyond the [G7]sky.
I'm [C]gonna shout and sing, [F]until heavens [C]ring,
when I bid this old [G7]world [C]goodbye

If you are ashamed of me, you have no cause to be
and you had better have some care
If only fault you find, you'll will be left behind
When I go sailing through the air.

If you look up to the sky, you'll see me passing by
there is no telling where I will be
My friends and family passed, I'll be with them at last
and all my furry friends are with me.

This ship will sail away, beyond land night and day.
I am going far beyond the sky
I will jump up and down, and dance to that happy sound
when I bid this old world goodbye.

about

SaltyPaws Punta Gorda, Florida

When you think of wandering minstrels, do you ever think they might live on a boat? SaltyPaws is a sailing acoustic duo, living aboard their catamaran, sailing and singing the Atlantic eastern seaboard. You'll hear guitar and 5 string banjo, spiced with harmonica and concertina. Wherever the boat is in port, you'll find Bentley and Jim joining a jam, at an open mic, or busking a street corner. ... more
