lyrics

squinty bridge

Saw you walkin
On your own
Along the river Clyde
People talk
And it is known
That she's
Not by your side
Lonely figure
Like a ghost
Your loss
It fills the air
Oh! the joy
A feeling most
Of our people share

But for me
It's a feeling
That no other
Can compare
She's not walking
By your side
Not here
Or anywhere
Here
Or anywhere

Loved her once
And I love her still
In an instant
She was gone
Married to another
To whom a child
Was born
She wasn't mine
I didn't mind
I'd have loved her
As my own
But her Father's will
Did surely kill
The bird
Fore it had flown
To the side
I stepped
With deep regret
When out
My heart was thrown
You my best friend
With my love
Me there
On my own
Me there
On my own

Looking at you
From the Squinty Bridge
Oh! what a view
From the Squinty Bridge

In these streets
That we have played
Since we were
Only four
We were friends forever
And wanted nothing more
Fought a thousand battles
Even won a war
Killed a million baddies
If I'd only known the score
If I'd only known the score

That you my friend
Were the baddest one
The baddest
Of them all
That you
Would crush
The rose I held
You could not
Kill me more
To see her
Have to walk with you
And push the child
She bore
Drank myself to death
And back again
And still I wanted more
Still I wanted more

Looking at you
From the Squinty Bridge
Looking at you
From the Squinty Bridge
She's standing
With me
On the Squinty Bridge
We're looking at you
From the Squinty Bridge
