I've got a new home
Over in Zion
Ain't it fine?
It's mine, all mine
Say it one more time:
I've got a new home
Over in Zion
Ain't it fine, it's fine, all right
Wait a minute now, look here:
Tell me, when I get there
Tell me, when I get there
I'm gonna set down in my home
And I'm gonna tell God the news
Gonna to walk around God's heavenly ground
Gonna tell, tell the news
Then there's something else he's gonna give me, look here:
I've got a new home
Over in Zion
Ain't it fine?
It's mine, all mine
Good God Almighty!
I've got a new home
Over in Zion
Ain't it fine?
It's mine, all right, look here—
Tell me when all the Staples get together again
We're going to march around God's heaven
We're gonna move on up out of glory
We're gonna feed at the welcome table
Then we're gonna move on up a little bit higher
We've got to move on up
We're gonna shake one and everybody's hand
We're gonna be shaking hands
Tell me when the holy ghost uses you
When the holy ghost is haunting you
Make you move when you don't want to move
But I'm glad about it, that
I've got a new home
Over in Zion
Ain't it fine?
It's mine, all mine
Good God Almighty!
I've got a new home
Over in Zion
Ain't it fine?
It's mine, all mine
One more thing, I'm going to say
And then I'm gonna leave you alone again:
You want to get on board?
If you want to get on board
Better get your ticket
And gather on board
