Roebling Built a Mighty Bridge

John Roebling built a mighty bridge
To Link the North and South
Runs from Cincinnati
To the Licking River’s mouth

Heal the wounded nation
Bind the pain and all the loss
Suspended steel and cable
And he let the people cross
Yes, he did, he let the people cross

When I see the morning sun
Shine on that majestic span
I know this was the dream of a man

There’s a bridge in Brooklyn
It gets a lot of fame
But it was on the mighty Ohio River where
John Roebling made his name
Oh, yes, John Roebling made his name

When I see the morning sun
Shine on that majestic span
I know this was the dream of a man

John Roebling built a mighty bridge
Roebling built a mighty bridge.
