Lyrics

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
Van 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
