Airmail Special Lyrics

Left New York this morning early
Traveling south, so wide and high
Sailing through the wide blue yonder
It's that Airmail Special on the flyListen to the motors humming
She is streaking through the sky
Like a bird that's flying homeward
It's that Airmail Special on the flyOver plains and high dark mountains
Over rivers deep and wide
Carrying mail to California
It's that Airmail Special on the flyWatch her circle for the landing
Hear her moan and cough and sigh
Now she's coming down the runway
It's that Airmail Special on the fly

Lionel Leo Hampton (1908–2002), was a U.S. bandleader, jazz percussionist, and vibraphonist. Hampton was born on 20th April 1908 in Louisville, Kentucky, but moved to Chicago as a child, where he began his career as a drummer. He relocated to Los Angeles to play drums in Les Hite's band. They soon became the house band for Frank Sebastian's New Cotton Club, a popular L.A. jazz club. During a 1930 recording date in the NBC studios in L.A., Louis Armstrong discovered a vibraphone. He asked Hampton if he could play it.
