11. The Seine, the Seine...I go back again...

One night along the river at St. Germain de Pre,
I first met my beloved at a small sidewalk café.
We walked along the river, the shadows passing by,
but we only saw each other, the shining water and the sky.

Chorus:
The Seine, the Seine, when will I again
meet her there,
greet her there,
on the moonlit banks of the Seine?

Standing there across the river, mid sound of horn and tram,
in all her quiet beauty, the cathedral Notre Dame,
And as we passed beside her, I said a little prayer
that when this dream was over, I'd awake and find you there.

(Chorus)

We walked along the river, 'till dawn was coming nigh.
Beneath the Eiffel Tower we said our last good-bye.
There on that splendid morning, I saw you all in tears
and the beauty of that hour will shine within me through the years

(Chorus)

The Seine, the Seine, when will I again meet her there on the Seine?

Kingston Trio had the best version.

7. Been there and been over that bridge I think.

Is that the one leading to the Algiers section of New Orleans? Beautiful city (or was :( )

12. If memory serves me

I think it's the Crescent City Connection. It's right by the Riverwalk and the mall.

[Maestro]

6. Very nice pics.

I don't have any of my own, but I appreciate good landscapes! As a child, for part of my life I grew up right next to the Mississippi. Rivers are awesome places and we must protect them.
