Coming In On a Wing and a Prayer  

Circa 1943
Lyric by Harold Adamson, Music by Jimmy McHugh

Comin In On A WING and a PRAYER 
One of our planes was miss-ing, two ho-ours o-ver due.
One of our planes was miss-ing, with all its gal-lant crew.
The ra-di-o sets were hum-ming, they wait-ed for a word; 
Then a voice broke thru the hum-ming and this is what they heard:

Chorus
"Com-in' In On A Wing And A Pray'r_______
Com-in' In On A Wing And A Pray'r_______
Tho' there's one mo-tor gone, we can still car-ry on,
Com-in' In On A Wing And A Pray'r_______

What a show_____ what a fight______
Yes, we real-ly hit our tar-get for to - night!
How we sing as we limp thru the air______
Look be - low, there's our field o-ver there____

With our full crew a- board and our trust in the Lord
we're Com-in' In On A Wing And A Pray'r_______
