My ship is on the ocean
My ship is on the ocean
My ship is on the ocean
Poor sinner, fare you well

I’m going away to see the good old Daniel
I’m going away to see my Lord
I’m going away to see the good old Daniel

I’m going away to see the weeping Mary
I’m going away to see my Lord
I’m going away to see the weeping Mary

I’m going away to see my Lord
Oh my ship is on the ocean
My ship is on the ocean
Poor sinner, fare you well
