GUEST,Elizabeth Block Lyr Add: Take My Bridgework Back to Mother (23) RE: Lyr Add: Take My Bridgework Back to Mother 17 Jan 07

I just googled this song again, and this time up came Internet Broadway Database, a website of Broadway musicals. "Bridgework" is from a musical/burlesque called "The Girl from Wyoming, which ran briefly on Broadway from Oct 1938 to Jan 1939. Music by Richard Lewine, who died only in 2005, lyrics by Ted Fetter. So: now I know!

My guess would be that the sheet music is available somewhere - maybe the Library of Congress, maybe one of the many other collections of popular songs, some online, some not online now but may be in future.
