Brooklyn Bridge

Burl Ives

5

Well I had me a girl with a golden curl

She vowed to treat me right

But here I am and I'm all alone

On the Brooklyn Bridge tonight

On the Brooklyn Bridge tonight

A thousand thoughts run through my mind

As I watch the city lights

My love is gone and I'm all alone

On the Brooklyn Bridge tonight

On the Brooklyn Bridge tonight

Well it really has been a blue, blue day

And the water is cold in the lower bay

The water is cold in the lower bay

Standin' by the long steel rail lookin' far below

I heard a voice that seemed to say

“Darlin' please don't go”

Darlin' please don't go

So I hurried home and waitin' for me standin' by the door

I saw the girl with the golden curl said I'll never leave no more

I'll never leave no more

Well it must've been my lucky day

'cuz the water was cold in the lower bay

The water was cold in the lower bay

Now I got a girl with a golden curl

She always treats me right

But here I am and I'm not alone

On the Brooklyn Bridge tonight

On the Brooklyn Bridge tonight
