Ship In The Sky (Woody Guthrie)


Hey curly-headed kid with a sunshiney smile
The roar of a plane as it sailed through the sky
To her playmates she cried, with a bright twinkling eye
My Daddy rides that ship in the sky
My Daddy rides that ship in the sky
My Daddy rides that ship in the sky
Mama's not afraid so neither am I
My Daddy rides that ship in the sky
Hey pug-nosed kid as he kicked up his heel
My Daddy works in the iron and the steel
My Daddy makes planes so they fly through the sky
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
You ain't afraid well neither am I
My daddy keeps your daddy up there so high
Then a shy little girl pinched her toe in the sand
My Daddy works in the place where they land
So 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 (repeat verse)
