DC-7

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
