Ship In the Sky

by Woody Guthrie

Lyrics
Well, a curly-headed kid with a sun-shining smile
Heard 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
Then a button-nosed kid, as he kicked up his heels
He said, My Daddy works in the iron and the steel
My Dad makes 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
If you ain't afraid well neither am I
Cause My Daddy keeps your daddy up there so high
Then a shy little girl pinched her toe in the sand
She said, My Daddy works at that place where they land
So you tell your mama, don't be afraid
Cause 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 if it gets dark and rains
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 if it gets dark and rains
My Dad'll bring your daddy back home again
