ARKANSAS FLYERS I believe it was a Wednesday when they first came into town With hammers and nails they went to work putting posters all around Announcing Saturday morning, in a field by Weaver's Mill You could see a death-defying show for just a dollar bill CHO: Arkansas Flyers. Barnstormin' fools. Daredevil madmen breakin' all the rules Kings of the bi-plane. Bravest ones alive Arkansas Flyers, 1925 Old timers gathered 'round them asking questions left and right "How fast does that there bi-plane go? Did you ever fly at night?" They rattled off the answers, never taking time to think And for every answer that they gave, the old timers bought them drinks CHO Now I was just a lad of 10, still wet behind the ears I followed them around the town, these men who knew no fears I scarcely could belive my eyes, all the people at the show. And knew for sure at the motor's roar that they were set to go. They cranked up their big engines, locked the proceeds safe inside Rolled on past the grandstand, soon they were flying high But to everyone's amazement, not a single stunt was done... They took off with the money, disappeared into the sun CHO: @airplane filename[ ARKFLYRS AB |
