Lyrics

The bridge 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 runnin' up and down the river And my nerves're drivin' me wild Cause the bridge washed out I can't swim And my baby's on the other side Rain oh rain stop a fallin' dark clouds hurry from the sky The preacher and my bride're waitin' and the weddin' bells're startin' to chime I can't kiss and hold her and it's drivin' me out of my mind Cause the bridge washed out and I can't swim And my baby's on the other side [Break] Now I got one foot in the water the one foot solid on the ground I try to swim that ragin' old river but I know if I try I'd drown There's not a boat around me they walked on out with the tide And the bridge washed out and I can't swim And my baby's on the other side Rain oh rain stop a fallin' dark clouds hurry from the sky The preacher and my bride're waitin' And the weddin' bells're startin' to chime I can't kiss and hold her and it's drivin' me out of my mind Yeah the bridge washed out And I can't swim and my baby's on the other side
