DC-7 - Lightnin' Hopkins
Lyrics by：Lightnin' Hopkins
Composed by：Lightnin' Hopkins
I wanna tell you the first time I taken the notion
Let that plane take me off this earth
Lord I wanna tell you people the first time
I taken the notion
For'n the airplane take me off this earth
Look like the first time I began to ride that DC-7
I could remember the first day I was birthed
Lord my mama said Son
Want you to count your mama to seven
She said
You made it back safe but do you know
I gotta kiss you son
You almost been to heaven
I said why you said mama
She said
You were ridin' that high-flying DC-7
Mama said while she was gone every morning
I could hear the airplane
All I could do was hear the sound
Yes while you was gone
All I could do was hear the voice from the airplane
All I could do was hear the sound
She said I been 82 years son
Oh mama never had her feet off the ground
You take a DC-7 from here to New York City
Don't take long 'fore you'll be there
Woah you take a DC-7 from here to New York City
It won't be long 'fore you'll be there
But if you take a notion to fall with you
They can't find you in this world nowhere
And then mama began to moan
You take a DC-7
He can almost tell you what the angel's doin'
You take a DC-7
Can almost tell you what them angel's doin'
But you know I've been riding them airplanes
You know there's something I had to learn
DC-7
