The Bridge Washed Out

The bridge washed out, I can't swim and my baby's on the other side

When I awoke this mornin', the rain was pouring down

I was gonna wed the little river girl over the bridge across town

Now I'm runnin' 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

Oh rain, oh rain, stop fallin', dark clouds hurry from the sky

The preacher and my bride are waitin' and the wedding bells are startin' to chime

I can't kiss and hold her and it's drivin' me out of my mind

'Cause the bridge washed out, I can't swim and my baby's on the other side

Now, I got one foot in the water, one foot solid on the ground

I try to swim that ragin' ol' 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

Yeah, oh rain, oh rain, stop fallin', dark clouds hurry from the sky

The preacher and my bride are waitin' and the weddin' bells are startin' to chime

I can't kiss and hold her and it's drivin' 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
