AMELIA EARHARDT

(McEnery & McPhali)

 

Like a ship out on the ocean

just a speck against the sky

Amelia Earhardt flying past that day

with her partner Captain ?

on the second of July

she fell into the ocean far away

 

well there's a beautiful, beautiful field,

in a land far away that is fair

happy landings to you Amelia Earhardt

farewell, first lady of the sky

 

about half an hour later

an SOS went out,

her signal weak

but still her voice was brave,

in shark infested water

her plain went down that night

to her blue-pacific watery grave

 

well there's a beautiful, beautiful field,

in a land far away that is fair

happy landings to you Amelia Earhardt

farewell, first lady of the air
