Magdalene Bridge: To The Wash

TO THE WASH (to the tune of Row Row Row your Boat)

Based on the story of Cambridge's connection to the Wash via the River Cam - with lyrics by Dave Cohen, chief songerwriter of CBBC's Horrible Histories - written in collaboration with Helen Weinstein who commissioned the song at Historyworks for children, families, teachers schools to enjoy! Lyrics below:

LYRICS

Row row row your boat
Gently up the Cam
Linking the city to the Wash
Where it first began

Row row row your boat
Gliding with your sail
Major route for goods to come
Until the birth of rail

Row row row your boat
To the Bridge of Magdalene
Home in time for tea as long
As you stop your dawdling.
