The Hennepin Avenue Bridge

	作词 : Setzer
	Setzer
	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
