"The Old Glory Wagon"
by S/Sgt. Wright Plummer, Jr.
She's the darling of the Air Corps
And the sweetheart of her crew,
She's the finest heavy bomber
That flies up in the blue.
She's sometimes temperamental
And sometimes kinda' slow,
But she's always sure to get you
Just where you want to go.
When you've got two engines feathered
And your wings are full of flak,
You know you needn't worry,
Your ship will get you back.
I want no golden chariot
To ride the heaven's scene
I'll go the way I know is safe,
In a proud old Seventeen!
