lyrics

The biggest bridge in the world

Verse 1
In all the world the biggest bridge
Gangs ower the Forth in Scotland
It’s the marvel o the modern world
And can ner be surpassed
Thirty thousand tons o stane
And fifty thousand tons o steel
Held in wi’ seven million rivets
A’ put there wi’ pride
A’ put there wi’ pride

Refrain
It will last a thousand years
As lang as it’s kept painted
It will last a thousand mair
As lang as rail runs ower the Forth

Verse 2
Never since the pyramids
Has such a massive thing been built
And it is right in oor back yaird
And we a ken whit fur
O tae be on the footplate
O steel an’ power as it gaes ower
Wi boiler makin’ loads o steem
Right up tae Aberdeen
Right up tae Aberdeen

Refrain

Verse 1
