My Daddy (flies A Ship In The Sky) Lyrics

Woody Guthrie My Daddy (flies A Ship In The Sky)

Well, a curly-headed girl with a bright shining smile Heard the roar of a plane as it sailed through the sky To her playmates she said, with a bright twinkling eye My Daddy flies that ship in the sky

My Daddy flies that ship in the sky My Daddy flies that ship in the sky My Mama's not afraid and neither am I 'Cause my Daddy flies that ship in the sky

Then a button-nosed kid, as he kicked up his heels He said, My Daddy works in the iron and the steel My Dad builds the planes and they fly through the sky And that's what keeps your daddy up there so high

That's what keeps your daddy up there so high That's what keeps your daddy up there so high My Dad builds the planes and they fly through the sky And that's what keeps your daddy up there so high

Then a freckle-faced kid pinched his toe in the sand He says, My Daddy works at that place where they land You tell your mama, don't be afraid My Dad'll bring your daddy back home again

My Dad'll bring your daddy back home again My Dad'll bring your daddy back home again Don't be afraid when it gets dark and rains My Dad'll bring your daddy back home again
