Re: Steam Powered Aereoplane, by John Hartford ...

For Ed and Skip -

"Well, I dreamed I went away on a Steam Powered Aereoplane
Well I went and I stayed and I damn near didn't come back again
I didn't go very fast ... on a Steam Powered Aereoplane
The wheel went around and up and down and then back again ...

[chorus]
"Sittin' in a 747 just watchin' them clouds go by,
Can't tell if it's sunshine or it's rain
I'd rather be sittin' in a deck chair high up over Kansas City
In a genuine, old fashion, authentic Steam Powered Aereoplane!

"Well I dreamt I was a pilot on a Steam Powered Aereoplane
I'd turn that pilot wheel around and then back again
I'd wear a blue hat, says 'Steam Powered Aereoplane'
With the letters ... go round the brim and then back again."

[chorus]

(From 'The Rincon Ramblers': Phil Salazar - fiddle and lead vocal,
with John Wilcox - mandolin and harmony vocal, Bill Flores - dobro,
Dan Wilson - Bass Guitar, and Alan Thornhill - Guitar and harmony vocal.)
