Pearl's Eye View - Nanci Griffith[00:00:01]

Oh she was high up there in the air[00:00:07]

Caught still by a soldier's stare[00:00:11]

Whenever it was men amongst men[00:00:14]

Down upon the land[00:00:16]

And she followed those mothers' sons[00:00:21]

She felt the thunder of their guns[00:00:24]

From a pearl's eye view [00:00:28]

Just a camera in her hand[00:00:30]

She was born Georgette[00:00:35]

But the name[00:00:37]

Didn't suit her well[00:00:38]

So she blew out of Wisconsin[00:00:42]

As Dickey Chapelle[00:00:45]

So she flew with a pilot's pride[00:00:49]

The first witness to either side[00:00:52]

She carried relief to the lost ones[00:00:56]

Between the bombs[00:00:59]

And we saw it all through her lens[00:01:03]

She knew she'll go back again[00:01:06]

When the call rang out[00:01:09]

Once more from Vietnam[00:01:11]

She's been through this before [00:01:16]

She'll tell ya war is hell[00:01:18]

Her pearl earrings caught the light[00:01:23]

On Dickey Chapelle[00:01:26]

Oh that's the way it was[00:01:29]

She was the only one to tell[00:01:31]

In 1962 [00:01:35]

She blew the whistle loud and clear[00:01:38]

Now we trace her wings[00:01:42]

In her footsteps without fear[00:01:45]

To the front lines where she fell[00:01:48]

Where she lies still[00:01:53]

But she's still there[00:01:56]

It was 1965[00:02:27]

Over Chu Lai in a free fall dive[00:02:31]

In a dawn patrol to cover[00:02:34]

The dead zone ground[00:02:37]

She tiptoed through the land mines[00:02:41]

All along the enemy lines[00:02:44]

But she never saw the one[00:02:48]

That took her down[00:02:50]

She captured the bloody pearls of war[00:02:54]

So well[00:02:58]

That war was bound to steal[00:03:01]

The end of Dickey Chapelle[00:03:02]

(from a pearl's eye view)[00:03:05]

Dickey Chapelle (from a pearl's eye view)[00:03:07]

Dickey Chapelle (from a pearl's eye view)[00:03:10]

Dickey Chapelle[00:03:13]
