Living a good honest life & going to heaven when you die

Lyrics

Heaven's Bay
Written by: Des Gambin

I'm 86 years old and soon one more
I've lived my life like Dad and Dad before
Hard working, faithful, honesty the way
That's how they made the ship to heaven's bay
I grew a young man much before my time
Cutting wood and hauling fishing line
To keep us warm and fed each night and day
And try to catch the ship to heaven's bay
I got a job up north and off I went
Work long, hard days at night sleep in a tent
But the pay was very good A buck a day
All part of my ride to heaven's bay
So Alice was her name, my wife to be
She loved me through the years so gracefully
Had I not met her on that special day
I might have missed the ship to heaven's bay
50 golden years we'd celebrate
Through good and bad I'd have to say twas great
But God he called to Alice come my way
She said goodbye and caught the ship to heaven's bay
Now I'm old my days are getting few
Oh Alice love I'll soon be there with you
I've lived my life the best and honest way
When it's time I'll take the ship to heaven's bay
So now it's time and now I'm on my way
I'm sailing on the ship to heaven's bay
