Plainsong - True Story of Amelia Earhart lyrics
You take it or you leave it but I’m telling anyhow There’s a story you should know Amelia was a hero in all of your hearts And that’s all we want you to know She landed in the headlines on the first day of July When her Electra hit the ocean bed And flying fifteen hundred miles from her alloted course Was not what all the newsstands said She left with Captain Noonan her navigating force From New Guinea to the Howland Isle With thirty minutes fuel left no landfall came the cry And all of us believed him for awhile Oh Amelia its true You’re the lady of the air This I’m not disputing anyhow But if what Mr. Goerner said was only half the truth Then Amelia For thirty days the Lexington and others searched the sea Brfore pronouncing “Earhart lost” And all was going smoothly and the senator’s relaxed Amelia and Noonan paid the cost Then a CBS man Goerner was confused by all the facts He said there’s someone telling lies Amelia’s plane was not the one they detailed in the news The fuel tanks alone were twice that size Oh Amelia its true You’re the lady of the air This I’m not disputing anyhow But if what Mr. Goerner said was only half the truth Then Amelia Jesus Salas, one of many, he had no call to lie He was working in the harbor that day And Saipan was a wartime stronghold of the Japanese And Jesus saw the fliers land away So who’s to point the finger more so Whose to say what’s right Me, I just wanted you to hear How brave Amelia Earhart, first lady of the air And Frederick Noonan ended their careers Oh Amelia its true You’re the lady of the air This I’m not disputing anyhow But if what Mr. Goerner said was only half the truth Then Amelia |
