The Ballad of Amelia Earhart

The Ballad of Amelia Earhart

Refrain: Oh, do you know the sweet Heavens High up the blue yonder A few will fly that path alone The skies they shall wander

(I) One such was Amelia Earhart Ambitious tomboy girl Courting her was the sky above Which made her insides twirl

(II) A thought occurred to Amelia Watching a red plane fly Admiring its stunts She now wanted to touch the sky

(Refrain) Oh, do you know the sweet Heavens High up the blue yonder A few will fly that path alone The skies they shall wander

(III) One day she flew inside a plane She wowed to touch the sky. She loved the heavens up above She learned how to fly!

(IV) She bought a plane it was a thrill The skies she always flew Setting records was a delight Her passion for the sky just grew

(Refrain) Oh, do you know the sweet Heavens High up the blue yonder A few will fly that path alone The skies they shall wander

V) Around the world was her sweet goal Stormy weather came on Lost all her communication Though they searched, she was gone

VI) When the news broke the world did sigh No hint of her crashed plane A Trail Blazer she'll always be Never found her remains

Refrain: Oh, do you know the sweet Heavens High up the blue yonder A few will fly that path alone The skies they shall wander
