about

Original composition commemorating Amelia Earhart and the time she spent in Trepassey in 1928 before partaking on the journey across the Atlantic Ocean, making her the first female passenger to do so. This historical event pinned Amelia as an international superstar and a forever world-loved icon.

lyrics

Twas an afternoon in June, 1928
A plane circled round and round
The people couldn’t wait
The children all sprinted, grabbing their coats
And the maritime cowboys were tying their ropes
It was like nothing they ever knew

Trepassey in June
Trepassey in June

They couldn’t believe their eyes
This woman from the skies
They asked “Are you really going to cross the Atlantic?”
She said “I'm a damn well try.”
When it came time to fly away
People watched by the shore and some of them prayed
Hoping she’d make it through

Trepassey in June
Trepassey in June
Trepassey in June
Trepassey in June

When she made it to the other side
She exclaimed “What a ride!
And of all of the places that I’ve ever flew
Nowhere quite compares
To Trepassey in June.”
