Song Lyrics

The bridge washed out
I can`t swim
And my baby`s on the other side

When I awoke this mornin`
The rain was pourin` down
I was gonna wed a little river girl
Just over the bridge across town
Now I`m runnin` up and down the river
And my nerves are drivin` me wild

Because 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 warned my bride`s a waitin`
And the weddin` bells are startin` to chime
I can`t kiss and hold her
It`s drivin` me outta my mind

Because the bridge washed out
I can`t swim
And my baby`s on the other side

And now I`ve got one foot in the water
But one foots solid on the ground
I`d try to swim that ragin` old river
But I know if I try I`ll drown
There`s not one boat around me
They`ve all gone out with the tide

Because the bridge washed out
I can`t swim
And my baby`s on the other side
`Cause the bridge washed out
I can`t swim
And my baby`s on the other side
