The Bridge Washed Out

Well the bridge washed out

I can't swim and my baby's on the other side

When I awoke this morning

The rain was a-pouring down

I was gonna wade a little river, girl

Just over the bridge across town

Now I'm running up and down the river

And my nerves are driving me wild

'Cause the bridge washed out

I can't swim and my baby's on the other side

Rain, old rain, stop a falling

Dark clouds hurry from the sky

The preacher and my bride is a waiting

And the wedding bells are starting to chime

I can't kiss and hold her

And its driving me out of my mind

'Cause the bridge washed out

I can't swim and my baby's on the other side

♪

Well, I got one foot in the water

And one foot solid on the ground

I'd try to swim this raging old river but I know if I try I'll drown

There's not a boat around me

They've all gone out with the tide

And the bridge washed out

I can't swim and my baby's on the other side

Rain, old rain, stop a falling

Dark clouds hurry from the sky

The preacher and my bride is a waiting

And the wedding bells are starting to chime

I can't kiss and hold her

And its driving me out of my mind

'Cause the bridge washed out

I can't swim and my baby's on the other side

I said the bridge washed out

I can't swim and my baby's on the other side
