I was standing [F] on the banks of the river, looking out over Lyons Trouble [Bb] Sea,
When I [F] saw that old ship a-sailing, Is [Gb] that the old [Bb] ship of [Am] Zion I see?
Its hull was bent and battered, From the [F] storms of [G] Lyons I could see,
The waves were rough, but the old [F] ship was sailing, Is that the old ship of Zion I see?
At the stern of the ship was the captain, I could hear [F] as he called out [C] my name,
Get on board, its the old ship [F] of Zion, It may never pass this way again,
As I step on board I'll be leaving, All my troubles and trials behind,
I'll be safe with Jesus the captain, Sailing out on the old ship of Zion.
