Left New York this morning early |
|
Traveling south, so wide and high |
|
Sailing through the wide blue yonder |
|
It's that Air Mail Special on the fly |
|
Listen to the motors humming |
|
She is streaking through the sky |
|
Like a bird that's flying homeward |
|
It's that Air Mail Special on the fly |
|
Over plains and high dark mountains |
|
Over rivers deep and wide |
|
Carrying mail to California |
|
It's that Air Mail Special on the fly |
|
Watch her circle for the landing |
|
Hear her moan and cough and sigh |
|
Now she's coming down the runway |
|
It's that Air Mail Special on the fly |
