Ed Bass
May 22, 2008 at 1:10 pm | In Chattanooga, lyrics only, song ideas | Leave a Commenthere’s another old Chattanooga story that I’ve tried to put in song. I think I want to add more to it, but here it is so far:
His name was Ed Bass
He needed that road done fast
There wasnt a way around
To the south side of the town
The old warehouse was in his way
Georgia said it had to stay
But Ed was the kind of man
To take things in his hands
(chorus)
So grab your axes and your shovels boys
Here’s what we’re gonna do
We’ll take that darned old building down
We’ll split it right in two
As the night began to fall
Ed’s bulldozer attacked the wall
Soon a band began to play
And South Broad was on its way
They worked all through the night
So Georgia couldnt put up a fight
Round midnight Ed drove through
That old warehouse torn in two
After this Ed stuck around
20 years he led this town
and he should always renowned
for taking Broad street all the way down
(to the town of St. Elmo)
