bd53184a-7ff6-414a-b823-51fb14ff919f Town Song Windsor Now and Then A song written by the late Ed Kohn Two hundred years and more we’ve been A town gone through hard times and then We’ve raised our heads up high again Like a Phoenix on the rise. When the logging days had come and gone And the tanning mills had all moved on And the Ball Bridge Works closed down We turned to what we had. Chorus: From Windsor Jambs to Estes (Sangar’s) Store This little town is steeped in lore; If you don’t know what a community’s for Then Windsor’s not your style. Hiking trails and Christmas trees Maple sap and a summer breeze Baseball games, cross country skis Is what we have today. But a town’s not made of bricks and stones Not even trees nor roads nor homes It’s made of muscle, skin, and bones And the love of folks like you. Chorus Related Services Related Boards & Departments
