Kinzua Song

Found the lyrics to the Song by Stan Austin that Grandma Watson was looking for.
I still cannot find the actual song but this guy says that it was released in '82
on a 45 for the 100th anniversary.

Verse:

Among the valleys
In Northern Pennsylvania
20 miles from the Kinzua Dam
In just three months
They built a wonder
The wonder was that mighty railroad span

Chorus:

The Kinzua Bridge (The Kinzua Bridge!)
Something to behold
Built about a hundred years ago
The Kinzua Bridge (The Kinzua Bridge!)
There for all to see
It’s become a part of our history

Bridge: (no pun intended)

You’ve got the golden gate bridge in Frisco
Chattanooga in Tennessee
The Rainbow Bridge in Canada
The Brooklyn Bridge in New York Ci-ty
You’ve got the Yorktown in Virginia
MacArthur in old St. Lou
Homestead Bridge in Pittsburgh
But then you have Kinzua

Verse:

Now if you go there
Someday to see this wonder
I know that you
Will be amazed
That such a feat
Could be accomplished
With 40 men in just 94 days

Repeat Chorus:

The Kinzua Bridge (The Kinzua Bridge!)
Something to behold
Built about a hundred years ago
The Kinzua Bridge (The Kinzua Bridge!)
There for all to see
It’s become a part of our history

Repeat Bridge
Repeat Chorus
