The Bridge Washed Out

(album: Country Fever - 1967)

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

When I awoke this morning
The rain was pouring down
I was gonna wed 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

Because the bridge washed out
I can't swim
And my baby's on the other side

Rain, oh rain stop a falling
Dark clouds hurry from the sky
The preacher warned my bride's a waiting
And the wedding bells are starting to chime
I can't kiss and hold her
It's driving 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 raging 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
