 Bridge washed out and I can't swim
And my baby's on the other side

#1:
When I awoke this mornin' the rain was a-pourin' down
I was gonna wed a little river girl just over the bridge across town
Now I'm a-runnin' up and down the river and my nerves are drivin' me wild
Because the bridge washed out and I can't swim
And my baby's on the other side

#2:
Rain, oh rain stop a fallin', dark clouds hurry from the sky
The preacher and my bride's a waitin' and my weddin' bells are startin' to chime
I can't kiss and hold her and it's a-drivin' me outta my mind
'cause the bridge washed out and I can't swim
And my baby's on the other side

Instrumental bridge:

#3:
And now I've got one foot in the water but one foot's solid on the ground
I'd try to swim that ragin' 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 and I can't swim
And my baby's on the other side

#4:

Rain, oh rain stop a fallin', dark clouds hurry from the sky
The preacher and my bride's a waitin' and my weddin' bells are startin' to chime
I can't kiss and hold her and it's a-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
