Ry Cooder - COMIN' IN ON A WING AND A PRAYER lyrics

(Harold Adamson & Jimmie McHugh)

One of our planes was missing

Two hours overdue

One of our planes was missing

With all its gallant crew

The radio sets were humming

We waited for a word

Then a noise broke

Through the humming and this is what we heard

Comin' in on a wing and a prayer

Comin' in on a wing and a prayer

Though there's one motor gone

We can still carry on

Comin' in on a wing and a prayer

What a show, what a fight, boys

We really hit our target for tonight

How we sing as we limp through the air

Look below, there's our field over there

With just one motor gone

We can still carry on

Comin' in on a wing and a prayer

Comin' in on a wing and a prayer

Comin' in on a wing and a prayer

With our full crew on board

And our trust in the Lord

We're comin' in on a wing and a prayer
