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
|
