Lyrics Amelia Earhart's Last Flight - Plainsong

Just a ship out on the ocean, just a speck against the sky,
Amelia Earhart flying out that day;
With her partner, Captain Noonan, on the first day of July
Her plane fell in the ocean, far away.

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.

Twenty minutes later and S.O.S. was hear
The signal weak, but still her voice was brave.
in shark-infested waters her plane went down that night
And the heros fell into a watery grave.
And 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.
Well, now you have heard my story of that awful tragedy,
We pray that she might fly home safe again.
Oh, 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 in a land that is fair.
Happy landings to you, Amelia Earhart
Farewell, first lady of the air.
