John Edmond - An Outfit They Called Praw текст песни

Исполнитель: John Edmond

альбом: The Rhodesian Troopers' Legacy


It was back in the days of the old Bush war
It's a day I won't forget, for sure
We were closing in on the enemy
They were hold up in a place that we couldn't see
Then our radio guy called up the Joc
And said we need some air support
Joc came back said: "he's on his way"
Gave a call sign and a frequency
A farmer in a shirt of grey
For him it was just another day
When he got the call, he couldn't say no
Adrenalin up and systems go
Rolled his little aircraft out of the barn
On his faraway God- forsaken farm
Jumped in the cockpit and cranked her up
Didn't even have to swing the prop
His spotter was there you could bet your life
In the right hand seat sat his pretty little wife
Face like an angel and eyes like a hawk
Flew in planes before she could walk
Flew above tree tops 'cos what he found
Not a thousand feet above the ground
Last time he did that they were nearly gone
Took an AK round in the aileron
Copper 1, Copper 2 or is it Copper 3
Copper 4, Copper 5 oh won't you answer me
I dunno your call sign number but the one thing that I know
You're an Air Wing pilot from an outfit they call PRAW
Heard his engine commin' out of the East
Then I saw a speck commin' over the trees
And over the horizon he disappeared
He'd gone in, is what I feared
I said: "how do you read me, are you alive?"
Came straight back and said "I read you 5"
My spotter has just seen something shine
In the side of the hill there's an old gold mine
Copper 1, Copper 2 or is it Copper 3
Copper 4, Copper 5 oh won't you answer me
I dunno your call sign number but the one thing that I know
You're an Air Wing pilot from an outfit they call PRAW
He said there's an adit where they might have gone in
Gonna circle round and keep them pinned
The rest of the story is history
They all surrendered to the military
We'll never forget those Air Wing guys
When we need the eyes on the skies
Search and rescue and supplies
And casavacs when nobody dies
Copper 1, Copper 2 or is it Copper 3
Copper 4, Copper 5 oh won't you answer me
I dunno your call sign number but the one thing that I know
You're an Air Wing pilot from an outfit they call PRAW
Copper 1, Copper 2 or is it Copper 3
Copper 4, Copper 5 oh won't you answer me
I dunno your call sign number but the one thing that I know
You're an Air Wing pilot from an outfit they call PRAW
