Boogie Woogie Flying Cloud
Hank Snow I was singin' the blues and now I'm shoutin' hooray Cause I met a pretty mama and I met her today Well her eyes started cheatin' my heart started beatin' aloud like the rhythmatic motors of the Boogie Woogie Flying Cloud Now the Flying Cloud is a luxury liner It flies from San Diego down to Carolina Then she boogies to Georgia and back to old Alabam No use denyin' makin' love when you're flyin' is grand She's a silber comet every engine in tune She boogied us out 'neath the silvery moon The stars started blinkin' when my baby started thinkin' aloud And told me that she loved me on Boogie Woogie Flying Cloud [ guitar ] Well I hugged my baby and we started to kiss The Flying Cloud's motors all started to miss She jumped in to jive as the crew started singin' a song And we headed for Dixie while the Flying Cloud boogied along When I told my baby a fortune I'd give 'er The big plane trembled and she started to quiver She headed for the sky then she swung and came on back down But we kept a lovin' as the Flying Cloud boogied around Wasn't takin' no chances cause I got a bit scary Thought I'd wait till we landed then I'd ask her to marry But changed my mind as we boogied out over the line And I popped the question as the big Cloud boogied on time [ guitar ] Well she started to truck and then she jumped to hep She looped the loop but never lost a step When she started descendin' for a boogie woogie landin' I vowed I'm preparin' my weddin' on the Boogie Woogie Flying Cloud When the big propellers they came to a stop I took my baby and wandered out through the crowd My old heart inside me went flippity flop When we landed in Dixie on the Boogie Woogie Flying Cloud |
