Amelia Earhart?s Last Fligh Lyrics

Just a ship out on the ocean, a speck against the sky,
Amelia Earhart flying that sad day;
With her partner, Captain Noonan, on the second of July
Her plane fell in the ocean, far away.
There's a beautiful, beautiful field
Far away-ay-ay in a land that is fair.
Happy landings to you, Amelia Earhart,
Farewell, first lady of the air.

Half an hour later her SOS was heard,
Her signal's weak, but still her voice was brave.
In shark-infested waters her aeroplane went down that night
In the blue Pacific to a watery grave.

There's a beautiful, beautiful field
Far away-ay-ay in a land that is fair.
Happy landings to you, Amelia Earhart,
Farewell, first lady of the air.

Wichita! !

Snakebite! Snakebite Jacobs!

Now you heard my story ?bout this awful tragedy,
We all pray she'll fly home safe again.
In years to come, though others blaze a trail across the sea,
We'll ne?er forget Amelia and her plane.

There's a beautiful, beautiful field
Far away-ay-ay in a land that is fair.
Happy landings to you, Amelia Earhart,
Farewell, first lady of the air.
Farewell, first lady of the air.

Thank you very much!

You're welcome!

Dry your eyes! dry your eyes!

Thank you very much!

You're welcome!

Thank you very much. This is a song that I wrote some time ago. Now I normally never pick up hitch-hikers, that's something that I don't like to do, but on this occasion I was just outside of Rapid City, South Dakota, when I picked up these ol? boys, you know, you know them boys ... and I wrote this particular tune.
