In the cold gray dawn, when the stars were gone
In a mighty aeroplane
Flew a boy in search of fame
Far across the bounding main
Like a bird on high, out to do or die
On his journey Over There
Many million hearts beat for him
And the whole world said a prayer

For Lindbergh! Oh what a plucky lad was he
Lindbergh! His name will live in history
Over the ocean, he flew all alone
Trembling with fate, and with dangers unknown
Others may take that trip across the sea
Upon some future day
But take your hats off to plucky, lucky Lindbergh
The eagle of the U.S.A

Through that long dark night, on his famous flight
Lindbergh stuck right to his post
As he flew from coast to coast
Making good his early boast
In the far-off west, one he loved the best
Said a prayer to God above
And He guided him and helped him
With a Mother's Wondrous Love

For Lindbergh! Oh what a plucky lad was he
Lindbergh! His name will live in history
Over the ocean, he flew all alone
Trembling with fate, and with dangers unknown
Others may take that trip across the sea
Upon some future day
But take your hats off to plucky, lucky Lindbergh
The eagle of the U.S.A

Others may take that trip across the sea
Upon some future day
But take your hats off to plucky, lucky Lindbergh
The eagle of the U.S.A
