Lyrics

[00:15.197] Well, a curly-headed girl with a bright shining smile
[00:19.759] Heard the roar of a plane as it sailed through the sky
[00:25.993] To her playmates she said, with a bright twinkling eye
[00:30.038] My Daddy flies that ship in the sky
[00:35.977] My Daddy flies that ship in the sky
[00:40.086] My Daddy flies that ship in the sky
[00:44.496] My Mama's not afraid and neither am I
[00:48.632] 'Cause my Daddy flies that ship in the sky
[00:57.069] Then a button-nosed kid, as he kicked up his heels
[01:01.119] He said, My Daddy works in the iron and the steel
[01:07.496] My Dad builds the planes and they fly through the sky
[01:11.196] And that's what keeps your daddy up there so high
[01:16.634] That's what keeps your daddy up there so high
[01:20.803] That's what keeps your daddy up there so high
[01:25.245] My Dad builds the planes and they fly through the sky
[01:29.175] And that's what keeps your daddy up there so high
[01:37.574] Then a freckle-faced kid pinched his toe in the sand
[01:42.054] He says, My Daddy works at that place where they land
[01:48.793] You tell your mama, don't be afraid
[01:52.852] My Dad'll bring your daddy back home again
[01:58.321] My Dad'll bring your daddy back home again
[02:02.263] My Dad'll bring your daddy back home again
[02:06.667] Don't be afraid when it gets dark and rains
[02:10.090] My Dad'll bring your daddy back home again
[02:15.851] My Dad'll bring your daddy back home again
[02:19.434] My Dad'll bring your daddy back home again
[02:23.793] Don't be afraid when it gets dark and rains
[02:29.884] My Dad'll bring your daddy back home again
