Lyrics

Westgate you took my pal,
My laughing, drinking, joking pal.
You stopped his laughter when you fell,
When you came down.

You welders and you tough dogmen,
I beg you will you listen then.
When with concrete and steel you spin,
I beg you to take care.
For we'll be a long time lonely now,
A long time lonely.

Westgate you took my man,
How I curse your rotten span.
I'll have to manage best I can,
Since you came down.

You designing and you planning men,
I beg you will you listen then.
When with concrete and steel you spin,
I beg you to take care.
For we'll be a long time lonely now,
A long time lonely.
