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
