Amelia Earhart's Last Flight

   -David McEnery

Like a ship out o’er the ocean, like a speck against the sky

Amelia Earhart flying past that day

With her partner Captain Noonan on the second of July

Her plane fell in the ocean far away

Chorus:

            There’s a beautiful, beautiful field

            Far away n a land that is fair

            Happy landings to you, Amelia Earhart

            Farewell, first lady of the air

Half an hour later, an S.O.S. was heard

Her signal weak, but still her voice was brave

In shark-infested waters her plane went down that night

In the blue Pacific to a watery grave

Now you have heard the story of that awful tragedy

We pray that she may fly home safe again

In days to come tho’ others blaze a trail across the sea

We’ll ne’er forget Amelia and her plane
