Well the bridged washed out and I can't swim
And my baby's on the other side
When I awoke this a morning
The rain was a pouring down
I was gonna wed the little river girl
Just over the bridge across town
Now I'm a running up and down the river
And my nerves are driving me wild
Cause the bridge washed out
And I can't swim and my baby's on the other side
Oh rain oh rain stop falling
Dark clouds hurry from the sky
The preacher and my bride are waiting
And the wedding bells are starting to chime
Well I can't kiss and hold her
And it's driving me out of my mind
Cause the bridge washed out
And I can't swim and my baby's on the other side
Yeah I got one foot in the water
One foot solid on the ground
Well I try to swim that raging ol' river
But I know if I try I'd drown
There's not one boat around me
They hogged on out with the tide
Coz the bridge washed out
And I can't swim and my baby's on the other side
Yeah rain oh rain stop a falling
Dark clouds hurry from the sky
The preacher and my bride's a waiting
And the wedding bells are starting to chime
Well I can't kiss and hold her
And it's driving me out of my mind
Cause the bridge washed out
And I can't swim and my baby's on the other side
Yeah the bridge washed out
And I can't swim and my baby's on the other side
