Refrain:
'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. [Refrain]

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, ...

4 It was good for my dear father, ...

5 It will take you home to Glory, ...
