For many years the ferries did the work
Taking endless loads of cars across the river
In summer time the wait was tedious to say the least
But there was no other way to cross that mighty river
No other way to tame that snaking beast
Finally the bridge was completed: finally the day came
When at last after all the waiting: they opened up that great bridge!
On the 21st of February in 1973 when I was still a teen
All of us kids were beaming: we were a part of local history
As we watched them cut the ribbon: watched them open up that tide
As cars were finally able to cross that mighty River Murray: though wide!
