Uncle Harvey's Plane
Dave Stamey

Well me 'n' Oliver 'n' Virgil's in the feedstore killing time

When my eyes fell upon this magazine

I got to reading this here article about sky-diving and parachuts

And it said jumping out of air-planes was the thing

Being raised down on a ranch n always ready for a little adventure

I knew that I could figure out a way

Well Delmer Gill's got a parachute and Uncle Harvey's got an air-plane

So I said Call the boys together, today's the day


I found out too late what Uncle Harvey called an air-plane

Wudn't nothing but an engine and a wing

And I could feel my fear a-rising as Delmer packed the parachute

'Cos he kept telling me I was doing the right thing


John McLoughlin shook my hand as JD strapped me in the harness

And Tildon brought a jug and passed it around

I took one look at that air-plane and at that parachute and that whisky

And I tipped that bottle up and drank it down


Well I was drunk as Cooter Jones when they poured me in the plane

And the engine coughed and headed for the clouds


But I was sober as a judge by the time they opened up that door

I've never known my heart to beat so loud


I said, Tildon, I can't do it as he kicked me out the door

And I wrapped my hands around the landing gear

And I was holding on real good 'til that sucker stepped down on my fingers

TJ said he heard me yell from way down there


I thanked God and Del Gill when my parachute finally opened

I said Well, heck there ain't no use in being afraid

And I went crashing through the hen house, scattering chickens and breaking eggs

And I kissed the ground and fainted dead away


Now friends I've done some fighting, and I've been shot at once or twice

And I've dang near got run over by a train

But I don't ever once remember being any more afraid

Than the day I jumped from Uncle Harvey's plane
