Lyrics

Now, I never will forget that floatin' bridge

Now, I never will forget that floatin' bridge

Now, I never will forget that floatin' bridge

Tell me, for a minute's time, I know what I was hid

When I was goin' down, I throwed up my hands

Now, when I was goin' down, I throwed up my hands

Now, when I was goin' down, I throwed up my hands

Please take me on dry land

Now, they kept me in the house and they laid me 'cross the bank

Now, they kept me in the house and they laid me 'cross the bank

Now, they kept me in the house and they laid me 'cross the bank

For the gallamin had muddy water I had drank

They dried me off and they laid me in the bed

Now, they dried me off and they laid me in the bed

Now, they dried me off and they laid me in the bed

Couldn't hear nothin' but muddy water runnin' through my head

Now, my mother often told me, "Quit playin' a bum"

Now, my mother often told me, "Quit playin' a bum"

Now, my mother often told me, "Son, quit playin' a bum

Go somewhere, settle down and make a crumb"

Now, people standin' on the bridge, screamin' and cryin'

People on the bridge was screamin' and cryin'

Now, the people on the bridge standin', screamin' and cryin'

Lord, I must say, why'd we whine?
