Bridge Washed Out
Well the bridge washed out and I can't swim
And my baby's on the other side
When I awoke this mornin'n, the rain was a-pourin' down
I was gonna wed the little river girl just over the bridge across town
I'm runnin' up and down the river and my nerves are drivin' me wild
'Cause the bridge washed out and I can't swim
And my baby's one the other side
[Chorus:]
Oh rain oh rain stop fallin', dark clouds hurry from the sky
The preacher and my bride's a-waitin' and the weddin' bells are startin' to chine
Well I can't kiss and hold her, and it's drivin' me outta 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'd try to swim that ragin' old river, but I know if I try I'd drown
There's not one boat around me, they've all gone out with the tide
And my baby's on the other side, yeah
[Chorus:]
Oh rain oh rain stop fallin', dark clouds hurry from the sky
The preacher and my bride's a-waitin' and the weddin' bells are startin' to chine
Well I can't kiss and hold her, and it's drivin' me outta 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
And my baby's on the other side
When I awoke this mornin'n, the rain was a-pourin' down
I was gonna wed the little river girl just over the bridge across town
I'm runnin' up and down the river and my nerves are drivin' me wild
'Cause the bridge washed out and I can't swim
And my baby's one the other side
[Chorus:]
Oh rain oh rain stop fallin', dark clouds hurry from the sky
The preacher and my bride's a-waitin' and the weddin' bells are startin' to chine
Well I can't kiss and hold her, and it's drivin' me outta 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'd try to swim that ragin' old river, but I know if I try I'd drown
There's not one boat around me, they've all gone out with the tide
And my baby's on the other side, yeah
[Chorus:]
Oh rain oh rain stop fallin', dark clouds hurry from the sky
The preacher and my bride's a-waitin' and the weddin' bells are startin' to chine
Well I can't kiss and hold her, and it's drivin' me outta 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
