Stompin Tom Connors - The Bridge Came Tumblin' Down Lyrics
Stompin Tom Connors - The Bridge Came Tumblin' Down Lyrics
Nineteen scarlett roses the chaplin spread around|In the waters of Berard Inlet in old Vancouver town|When the bridge came tumbling down|When the bridge came tumbling down||Nineteen men were drowned in June of 1958|In old Vancouver town|There were seventy-nine men working|To build this brand new bridge|To span the second and narrows|And connect up with the ridge|Till a big wind hit the bridge||And the bridge came tumbling down||And nineteen men were drowned|The medical corp couldn't be too sure of the rest of the men they found|In among the twisted girders one man realized|How last night he'd been dreaming and saw before his eyes|The big wind on the rise|And the bridge came tumbling down|And nineteen steelmen drowned, and he saw the fright of the darkest night|In old Vancouver town||With frogmen in the water by the cutting torches glow|They fought to save the steelmen|From certain death below and pain we'll never know|When the bridge came tumbling down|And nineteen men were drowned, and sixty more that came ashore|So thankful they were found||It often makes you wonder|In strength who has the edge|The longest steel beam structure|That spans the highest ridge|For the men that built the bridge|For the bridge came tumbling down|And nineteen men were drowned|But the other men came back again|To lay the new beams down||Now if your ever crossing|This mighty bridge sublime|And nineteen scarlett roses pass before your mind|Remember and be kind|The bridge came tumbling down|Ansd nineteen men were drowned|So you could ride to the other side|Of old Vancouver town||So you could ride to the other side|Of old Vancouver town||
