Coming In On a Wing and a Prayer

Performed by The Song Spinners
Recorded February 1942
Lyric by Harold Adamson, Music by Jimmy McHugh

Comin' In On A Wing And A Pray'r
One of our planes was missing, two hours overdue
One of our planes was missing, with all its gallant crew
The radio sets were humming, they waited for a word;
Then a voice broke thru the humming and this is what they heard:

Chorus
"Comin' In On A Wing And A Pray'r
Comin' In On A Wing And A Pray'r
Tho' there's one motor gone, we can still carry on,
Comin' In On A Wing And A Pray'r

What a show, what a fight
Yes, we really hit our target for tonight!
How we sing as we limp thru 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 Pray'r
