Ship In The Sky Lyrics

Ship In The Sky lyrics

(My Daddy)



Well, a curly-headed girl with a bright shining smile

Heard the roar of a plane as it sailed through the sky

To her playmates she said, with a bright twinkling eye

My Daddy flies that ship in the sky



My Daddy flies that ship in the sky

My Daddy flies that ship in the sky

My Mama's not afraid and neither am I

'Cause my Daddy flies that ship in the sky



Then a button-nosed kid, as he kicked up his heels

He said, My Daddy works in the iron and the steel

My Dad builds the planes and they fly through the sky

And 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

My Dad builds the planes and they fly through the sky

And that's what keeps your daddy up there so high



Then a freckle-faced kid pinched his toe in the sand

He says, My Daddy works at that place where they land

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
