Bridge washed out

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

Well now rain oh rain stop a fallin' dark clouds hurry from the sky
The preacher and my bride are waitin' and the wedding bells are startin' to
chime
Well I can't kiss and hold her and it's drivin' me out of my mind
Cause the bridge washed out and I can't swim and my baby's on the other side
Now I got one foot in the water the other foot solid on the ground

I try to swim that ragin' river but I know if I try I'm gonna drown
There's not a boat around me they walked on out with the tide
And the bridge washed out and I can't swim and my baby's on the other side
Well now rain oh rain stop a fallin' dark clouds hurry from the sky...
The bridge washed out and I can't swim and my baby's on the other side
