Anne Shelton - Comin' In On A Wing And A Prayer (1943)

One of our planes was missing
Hours overdue
One of our planes was missing
With all it's gallant crew
The radio sets were humming
They waited for the word
Then a voice broke through the humming
And this is what they 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
Yes 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 our full crew aboard
And our trust in the Lord
We're comin' in on a wing and a prayer

How we sing as we limp through the air
Look below, there's our field over there
With our full crew aboard
And our trust in the Lord
We're comin' in on a wing and a prayer
