The Hennepin Avenue Bridge - Brian Setzer[00:00:00]

Father Hennepin went down to Bennigan's[00:00:20]

To discuss the construction of the Hennepin bridge[00:00:25]

He had time to kill down by the flour mill[00:00:29]

So he planned a picnic lunch on St Anthony main[00:00:33]

Now father Hennepin he was notorious[00:00:55]

And he liked a little drunk down at Nye's Polanaise[00:00:59]

His explorations were more than glorious[00:01:03]

So they planned to build a bridge[00:01:08]

That would feature his name[00:01:10]

Well first niagara and then St Antony's[00:01:21]

Were discovered by the fella with the Hennepin name[00:01:25]

But when the lock was filled on the lower falls[00:01:29]

Everyone was shoppin' on the Nicollet mall[00:01:34]

And when the rope was cut on the Hennepin[00:01:40]

Father Louis had a most unusual plan[00:01:45]

He would take a dip in the Mississippi[00:01:49]

He would dive from the centre and swim to the dam[00:01:53]

When the time had come and he took the plunge[00:02:13]

Everybody screamed my god what has he done[00:02:18]

And though he tried to swim the current carried him[00:02:21]

Closer and closer to the brink of the falls[00:02:26]

The people lined the banks of the Mississippi[00:02:32]

To watch father Hennepin go over the edge[00:02:37]

The people there that day they all swear they say[00:02:41]

Father Hennepin was laughin' as he fell to his death[00:02:45]
