CWell I had me a girl with the Fgolden curls she Cvowed to treat me right
But G7here I am and I'm Call alone on the FBrooklyn Bridge Ctonight
FOn the Brooklyn G7Bridge toCnight
A thousand thoughts run Fthrough my mind as CI watch the city lights
My G7love is gone and I'm Call alone on the FBrooklyn Bridge Ctonight
FOn the Brooklyn G7Bridge toCnight
FWell it really has been a Cblue blue day
And the Fwater looks cold in the CEast River Bay
The Fwater looks cold in CEast River Bay
Standin' by the Flong steel rail Clookin' far below
I G7heard a voice that Cseemed to say Fdarlin' please don't Cgo
F(Darlin' G7please don't Cgo)
So I hurried home and a Fwaitin' for me Cstandin' by the door
I G7saw the girl with the Cgolden curls she said FI'll never leave you no Cmore
FI'll never G7leave you no Cmore
FWell it must have been my Clucky day
Cause Fthe water looked cold in the CEast River Bay
The Fwater looked cold in the CEast River Bay
