Hank Snow - Boogie Woogie Flying Cloud Lyrics

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

My old heart inside me went flippity flop

I took my baby and wandered out through the crowd

When we landed in Dixie on the Boogie Woogie Flying Cloud
