Ship in the Sky

by Woody Guthrie

　　A curley headed kid with a sunshiny smile Heard the roar of a plane as it sailed through the sky To her playmates she said with a bright twinkling eyes My daddy rides that ship in the sky! A freckle face girl pinched her toe in the sand Says my daddy works at the place where they land So you tell your mama don't be afraid 'Cause my dad'll bring your daddy back home again.
