27 Jul 05 - 02:45 PM (#1529484) Subject: RE: Seeking: Songs with the word 'Bridge' in title From: Joe Offer Gee, maybe Paul Simon had a bridge obsession. He also wrote "59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)." Barley Bridge is a good one. I suppose London Bridge Is Falling Down might be a bit too obvious, and Will they Ever Bridge the Humber is an anachronism. Hey, how about BRIDGEt O'Flynn? Bill Staines wrote a lovely song called Bridges. -Joe Offer- |

I'm thinking tonight of the old rustic brig That bends o'er the clear winding burn Twas there at New Year wi ma belly foo o beer I crassed where the road taks the turn. I'd been at a party with whisky and beer And I had a glorious fill I got on me bike but I sailed ower the dyke At the auld rustic bridge by the mill. Beneath me the front wheel she buckled I'm wearing the marks o it still I barkit me shins on the bottles and tins At the auld rustic bridge by the mill. I'm thinking tonight o that auld rusty bike She carried many a mile She's a reed wi rust and the front wheel is burst To mend her is no worth me while. She once was a beauty wi back pedal brakes And gears I could change on a hill But noo I must hike since I struck the dyke At the auld rustic bridge by the mill. Beneath the wheel she buckled It sure was a terrible spill Me heid in the segs, wi me bike roon me legs At the auld rustic bridge by the mill. I'm thinking tonight of the last harvest ball The night cometh he felt so grand For eight bob an hour they could hire Henry Hall To play at their dance wi his band. But I got me ticket, a drap in me pooch Then I got a terrible spill I near broke me neck ower aylsbury drake At the auld rustic bridge by the mill. Beneath me the front wheel she buckled The drake, oh I swear for him still His neck threw me wheels, cast head ower heels At the auld rustic bridge by the mill. |

07 Jun 10 - 03:41 PM (#2922552) Subject: RE: Seeking: Songs with the word 'Bridge' in title From: GUEST,Author Okay, historical fiction author here doing some research. How many of those many 'bridge' songs you listed date from the early 1800s? Definintely before 1880, preferably before 1850. I'm specifically looking for a song, not necessarily with 'bridge' in the title but having to do with a bridge, and it would be great if it was in French or of French origin. New Orleans origin/Cajun French would do too. Any suggestions? |
