Oh, she was high up there in the air
Caught still by a soldier's stare
Whenever it was men amongst men
Down upon the land
And she followed those mothers’ sons
She felt the funder of their guns
From a pearl's eye view, just a camera in her hand
She was born Georgette, but the name
Didn't suit her well
So she blew out of Wisconsin as Dickey Chappelle

Oh, she flew with a pilot’s pride
The first witness to either side
She carried relief to the lost ones
Between the bombs
And we saw it all through her lens
She knew she'd go back again
When the call rang out once more from Vietnam
She's been through this before
She'll tell you war is hell
Her pearl earrings caught the light
On Dickey Chappelle

Oh, that's the way it was
She was the only one to tell
In 1962
She blew the whistle loud and clear
Now we trace her wings
In her footsteps where she fell
To the front lines without fear
Where she lies still
But she's still there
