GUEST,Roll&Go-C Space - The Final Folk Frontier? (54* d) Lyr Add: COME TAKE A TRIP ON MY AIR SHIP 26 Mar 01


And speaking about sci-fi oldies, let's not forget "Come Take a Trip on My Airship" which I can still hear on quiet nights as sung by Sally Rogers and the Elderly Instruments gang:

COME TAKE A TRIP ON MY AIR SHIP
(George Evans and Ren Shields, Public Domain)

I once loved a sailor, once a sailor loved me;
He was not a sailor who sailed on the rolling sea;
He sailed in an airship, free as a bird on the wing,
And every Sunday evening, he'd fly past my window and sing:

Chorus:

Come take a trip on my airship,
Come let us sail to the stars;
Come let us fly off to Venus,
Come take a trip around Mars;
No one will see when we're kissing,
No one will know when we spoon;
Come take a trip in my airship
And we'll visit the man in the moon.

One night while sailing away from the crowds
We passed through the Milky White Way;
Whiule idly drifting and watching the clouds,
He asked me if I'd name the day;
Just by the dipper I gave him my heart;
The sun shines on our honeymoon;
We swore to each other we never would part
And we'll teach all the babies this tune. (CHO)
