Текст песни: I'm the Man That Built the Bridges + перевод

I’m the man that built the bridges

I’m the man that laid the track

I’m the man that built this country

With my shoulder and my back

I’m the man that built the power dams

And oiled all the cars

And I laid down the cornerstone

For this great land of ours

I cleared the rocks and timber

From the wild New England shore

And I labored long and hard to make it grow

I fought the savage Indian

And raised a family

Told King George and all his Redcoats where to go

I’m the man that built the bridges

I’m the man that laid the track

I’m the man that built this country

With my shoulder and my back

I’m the man that built the power dams

And oiled all the cars

And I laid down the cornerstone

For this great land of ours

I stoked the mighty furnaces

I rolled the flamin' steel

I operated oil rigs and wells

And when the country needed them

I built the planes and tanks

To send the tyrants down to fry in hell

I’m the man that built the bridges

I’m the man that laid the track

I’m the man that built this country

With my shoulder and my back

I’m the man that built the power dams

And oiled all the cars

And I laid down the cornerstone

For this great land of ours

I’m the boy that drove the wagons

When the people headed west

Dug canals and pulled the barges on their way

I built and ran the factories

Cut the timber for your homes

Drove the oxen when I cut and baled the hay

I’m the man that built the bridges

I’m the man that laid the track

I’m the man that built this country

With my shoulder and my back

I’m the man that built the power dams

And oiled all the cars

And I laid down the cornerstone

For this great land of ours

My face may not be pretty

And my clothes are not the best

And there ain’t no big shots in our family tree

But if you’re wonderin' who it was

That made this country great

You don’t have to look no further, it was me

I’m the man that built the bridges

I’m the man that laid the track

(I'm the man that built the bridges!)

I’m the man that built this country

With my shoulder and my back

(I'm the man that laid the track!)

I’m the man that built the power dams

And oiled all the cars

(I'm the man that oiled all the cars!)

And I laid down the cornerstone

For this great land of ours
