Silver Bridge Across the Clyde

In Glasgow town where I was born
Amid the city noise,
The scene has changed in recent years
Where we once lived as boys.

My memory takes me back again
To childhood days gone by,
But one thing I remember still
Brings tear-drops to my eye.

Chorus
Silver Bridge across the Clyde
Spread your wide arms over me.
Dancing light upon the water
Brings my boyhood back to me.

The tram cars rattling through the night
When we were fast asleep;
The games we played when we were young
The art of living cheap.

Now who could dream that beauty lay
Beneath your smoking stacks?
But love and youth all mingled there
Inside your homely shacks.
