Ella Fitzgerald Air Mail Special Lyrics

Air Mail Special Lyrics

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
