The Hennepin Avenue Bridge |
Father Hennepin went down to Bennigan’s |
To discuss the construction of the Hennepin Bridge |
He had time to kill down by the flour mill |
So he planned a picnic lunch on St Anthony Main |
Now Father Hennepin he was notorious |
And he liked a little drunk down at Nye’s Polanaise |
His explorations were more than glorious |
So they planned to build a bridge that would feature his name |
Well, first Niagara and then St Anthony’s |
Were discovered by the fella with the Hennepin name |
But when the lock was filled on the lower falls |
Eveyone was shoppin' on the Nicollet Mall |
And when the rope was cut on the Hennepin |
Father Louis had a most unusual plan |
He would take a dip in the Mississippi |
He would dive from the centre and swim to the dam |
When the time had come and he took the plunge |
Everyone screamed: «My God, what has he done» |
And though he tried to swim, the current carried him |
Closer and closer to the brink of the falls |
The people lined the banks of the Mississippi |
To watch Father Hennepin go over the edge |
The people there that day, they all swear they say |
Father Hennepin was laughin' as he fell to his death |
