Well the bridge washed out I can't swim and my baby's on the other side When I awoke this morning The rain was a-pouring down I was gonna wade 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 'Cause the bridge washed out I can't swim and my baby's on the other side Rain, old rain, stop a falling Dark clouds hurry from the sky The preacher and my bride is a waiting And the wedding bells are starting to chime I can't kiss and hold her And its driving me out of my mind 'Cause the bridge washed out I can't swim and my baby's on the other side Well, I got one foot in the water And one foot solid on the ground I'd try to swim this raging 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 I can't swim and my baby's on the other side Rain, old rain, stop a falling Dark clouds hurry from the sky The preacher and my bride is a waiting And the wedding bells are starting to chime I can't kiss and hold her And its driving 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
