lyrics

Road Bridge o’ the Forth

Verse 1
Road Bridge o’ the Forth
And artery o’ Scotland
Linkin’ the south tae the lands o’ the north
Let your splendour unfold
Tae a’ that behold you
Yer part o’ the fabric that makes Scotland bold

Refrain 1
Then we pause for a moment
Tae tak’ ye a’ in
Mighty bridge and twin partner
O’ rails kith an’ kin
You have served us for 50 years
Through sun and rain
Oh road bridge o’ the Forth
You’ve become our ain

Verse 2
As we look tae the future
We see a new structure
Risin’ up skyward tae tak’ yer place
And although it’s a fact
That your cables are rusting
Your spirit will live on
In a’ oor hearts

Refrain 2
Then we pause for a moment
Tae tak’ ye a’ in
Mighty bridge and twin partner
O’ rails kith an’ kin
You have served us for 50 years
Through sun and rain
Oh road bridge o’ the Forth
Your memory will remain
