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
