Bridge Of Gold

There no more jobs in New York City

They stopped building in old Chicago

But they're shipping steel through the Panama Canal

Up the coast to San Francisco

There's a rumor out west they're building a bridge of gold

There's a rumor out west there'll be work for all

There's a rumor out west they're building a bridge of gold

And if you can bend iron you're good to go

And if you can bend iron you're good to go

I'm just trying to get a grip on it all

Since the crash of 1929

And the hard times have found me

And my family is always on my mind

There's a rumor out west they're building a bridge of gold

There's a rumor out west there'll be work for all

There's a rumor out west they're building a bridge of gold

And if you can bend iron you're good to go

And if you can bend iron you're good to go

With my three children

And my beloved wife

We set off to California

I am a union man for life

There's a rumor out west they're building a bridge of gold

There's a rumor out west there'll be work for all

There's a rumor out west they're building a bridge of gold

And if you can bend iron you're good to go

And if you can bend iron you're good to go
