The Williams Brothers

A Ship Like Mine

There was this watchman who worked on a ship yard

His job was to lookout from the watch tower and communicate

and locate the ships out on the sea

Then notify the other employees, so they can be prepared to unload when the ships came sailing to shore

Well__ one evening he fell asleep up in the watch tower

And while he was sleep he had a dream and in his dream God saved him and filled him with the Holy Ghost

When he awakened he knew, that he was a changed man

Kind of being happy he rushed down to tell his boss,

He said, \"boss man another ship, just came in\",

The boss man said well, why didn't you notify somebody about it

He looked at him and said,

I'm talking about my SHIP!!, ship of salvation

He said, \"I want you to do me a favor\"

Soloist: Said go tell all of my friends that my ship just came sailing in

Choir: all of my friends that my ship just came sailing in

Soloist: It came

Choir: filled with the Holy Ghost

Soloist: It came

Choir: filled with joy divine

Soloist: Tell me

Choir: Wouldn't you like to sail on a ship like mine

Soloist: Woo, yell, said go tell, tell it

Choir: all of my friends that my ship just came sailing in
