Brooklyn Bridge

Burl Ives

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
