Lyrics
A ship out on the ocean, just a speck against the sky
Amelia Earhart flying that sad day
With her partner, Captain Noonan, on the second of July
Her plane fell in the ocean, far away
Cho: There's a beautiful, beautiful field
Far away in a land that is fair
Happy landings to you, Amelia Earhart
Farewell, first lady of the air
She radioed position and she said that all was well
Although the fuel within the tanks was low
But they'd land on Howland Island to refuel her monoplane
Then on their trip around the world they'd go
Well, a half an hour later an SOS was heard
The signal weak, but still her voice was brave
Oh, in shark-infested waters her plane went down that night
In the blue Pacific to a watery grave
Well, now you have heard my story of that awful tragedy
We pray that she might fly home safe again
Oh, in years to come though others blaze a trail across the sea
We'll ne'er forget Amelia and her plane. Chorus
