Hank Snow Lyrics: Boogie Woogie Flying Cloud Lyrics

Hank Snow - Boogie Woogie Flying Cloud

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 Alabama.
No use denyin' makin' love
When you're flyin' is grand.

She's a silver comet, ev'ry 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.
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,

Well, she started to truck
And then she jumped to help
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.
