MacDougall Park Bridge Song
Ballad of
The Drystone Bridge
in MacDougall Park
Words by Neville Brown
(Tune: "The Green Beret")
Some folk in Russell had a plan
To be the first in all the land
Combining history with art
A drystone bridge in a public park.
Built by many volunteers
Using stones from far and near
Each stone has personality
It will show where it wants to be.
With chisel just remove some chips
Mold each stone until it fits
No mortar used between the stones
The graceful arch will stand alone.
There it stands for all to see
Now it's part of history
It has become dear to our heart
The drystone bridge in MacDougall Park.
