Bridge Washed Out — текст песни (Warner Mack)

The bridge washed out and I can`t swim and my baby`s on the other side
When I awoke this a morning the rain was a pouring down
I was gonna wed the little river girl just over the bridge across town
Now I`m a runnin` up and down the river and my nerves`re drivin` me wild
Cause the bridge washed out I can`t swim and my baby`s on the other side
Rain oh rain stop a fallin` dark clouds hurry from the sky
The preacher and my bride`re waitin` and the weddin` bells`re startin` to chime
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
[ steel ]
Now I got one foot in the water the one foot solid on the ground
I try to swim that ragin` old river but I know if I try I`d 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
Rain oh rain stop fallin`...
Yeah the bridge washed out and I can`t swim and my baby`s on the other side
