Thread Name: Songs about Hull
Subject: RE: Songs about Hull
Jackie and Bridie used to sing a song called The Humber bridge song which sort of fits in with Hull and its surroundings. I can't remember the words in fact I wouldn't mind having them if anyone knows them, the chorus is I believe--

Will they ever bridge the Humber will they ever span it o'er,
is always an exception to the rule.
Is it such a privilege to have a Humber bridge,
do we have to keep on going round by Goole.

The fact that a bridge was built years ago does not affect the history in the song nor change the fact that it's a good song--- Giok
