The Brooklyn Bridge

(album: The Great Mel Tillis Sings Walk On, Boy & Other Great Country Hits - 1966)

Well, I had me a girl with the golden curles
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 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 East River Bay
Water is cold in East River Bay

Standing by the long steal rail
Looking far below
I've heard the voice that seemed to say
Darling, please don't go
(Darling, please don't go)

So I hurried home and waiting for me
Standing by the door
I saw the girl with the golden curles
Said I'll never leave you no more
I'll never leave you no more

Well, it must have been my lucky day
Cause the water looked cold in East River Bay
The water looked cold in East River Bay
