Stompin' Tom Connors - Bridge Came Tumbling 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 knowStompin' Tom Connors - Bridge Came Tumbling Down - http://motolyrics.com/stompin-tom-connors/bridge-came-tumbling-down-lyrics.html

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
