Bridge Washed Out

The bridge washed out and I can’t swim

And my baby’s on the other side

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

I’m runnin’ up and down the river and my nerves are drivin’ me wild

Cause the bridge washed out and I can’t swim

And my baby’s on the other side

The preacher and my bride is a-waitin’

And my weddin’ bells are startin’ to chime

I can’t kiss and hold her and it’s drivin’ me outta my mind

The bridge washed out and I can’t swim

And my baby’s on the other side

When I try to swim that ragin’ old river 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

The bridge washed out and I can’t swim

And my baby’s on the other side
