lyrics

As I walked out one morning on a bright and sunny day
Heard this terrible racket, it was coming from the bay
Walked down by the water and I saw this terrible sight
The old bridge was shaking, it was fighting for its life
Fighting for its life, boys fighting for its life
The old bridge was shaking, she was fighting for its life

Gather up the citizens and bring them all around
If we don’t help her now boys, she’ll be coming down

Many the ships that have gone through her gates
Some were going to Cleveland, some to heaven’s gate
Gather up the people, bring them close around
If we don’t help her now, boys, she’ll be coming down
