"Amelia Earhart's Last Flight" is a song written by Red River Dave McEnery shortly after Amelia Earhart's disappearance. It is believed to be the first song ever performed on commercial television, by Dave McEnery on a pioneer television broadcast from the 1939 World's Fair. It was copyrighted in 1939, and was recorded by McEnery in 1941. It has maintained continued popularity since then, including covers by artists Kinky Friedman, The Greenbriar Boys, The Country Gentlemen and The New Lost City Ramblers. It was printed in Alan Lomax, Robert Shelton & Nat Hentoff's Young Folk Song Book (1963). I learned it from The Greenbriar Boys and The New Lost City Ramblers.
