SHIP IN THE SKY A curly-headed kid with a sun-shiny 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 A pug-nosed kid, as he kicked up his heel Said, my daddy works in the iron and the steel My daddy makes planes so they fly through the sky 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 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 Said, my daddy works in 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 Woody Guthrie > canzoni > Hard Travelin' - The Asch Recordings Vol 3
