AMELIA EARHART'S LAST FLIGHT             Key of G              

JUST A SHIP OUT ON THE OCEAN, A SPECK AGAINST THE SKY
AMELIA EARHART FLYING SAD THAT DAY
WITH HER PARTNER CAPTAIN NOONAN, ON THE SECOND OF JULY
SHE FELL INTO THE WATER FAR AWAY

CHORUS THERE'S A BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL FIELD
       FAR AWAY IN A LAND THAT IS FAIR
       HAPPY LANDINGS TO YOU AMELIA EARHART
       FAREWELL, FIRST LADY OF THE AIR

SHE RADIOED POSITION TO SAY THAT ALL WAS WELL
ALTHOUGH THE FUEL INSIDE HER TANKS WAS LOW
BUT SHE'D LAND ON HOWLAND ISLAND TO REFUEL HER MONOPLANE
THEN ON HER TRIP AROUND THE WORLD SHE'D GO

CHORUS

NOW HALF AN HOUR LATER, AN S.O.S. WAS HEARD
THE SIGNAL WEAK BUT STILL HER VOICE WAS BRAVE
INTO SHARK INFESTED WATERS HER PLANE FELL DOWN THAT DAY
IN THE BLUE PACIFIC TO A WATERY GRAVE

CHORUS

NOW THAT YOU HAVE HEARD MY STORY OF THAT AWFUL TRAGEDY
STILL WE HOPE AND PRAY THAT SHE'LL COME SAFELY HOME
AND IN YEARS TO COME THOUGH OTHERS MAY BLAZE A TRAIL ACROSS
THE SKY
WE'LL NE'ER FORGET AMELIA AND HER PLANE

CHORUS

after we receivied word of Miss Earhart's disappearance."
