George Jones - Bridge Washed Out Lyrics
(Mel Melshee - Jimmy Louis - S.Smith)(The bridge washed out and I can't swim)(And my baby's on the other side)When I awke this a morningThe rain was a pouring downI was gonna wed the little river girlJust over the bridge across town.Now, I'm a runnin' up and down the riverAnd my nerves are drivin' me wildBecause the bridge washed out, I can't swimAnd my baby's on the other side.Rain. oh rain, stop a fallin'Dark clouds hurry from the skyThe preacher and my bride is a waitin'And the weddin' bells are starting to chime.I can't kiss and hold herAnd it's driving me out of my mindThe bridge washed out and I can't swimAnd my baby's on the other side.--- Instrumental ---Now I got one foot in the waterThe other foot solid on the groundWhen I try to swim that ragin' ol' riverI know if I try I'd drown.There's not a boat around meThey walked on out with the tideAnd the bridge washed out and I can't swimAnd my baby's on the other side.Rain. oh rain, stop a fallin'Dark clouds hurry from the skyThe preacher and my bride is a waitin'And the weddin' bells are starting to chime.I can't kiss and hold herAnd it's driving me out of my mindThe bridge washed out and I can't swimAnd my baby's on the other side.The bridge washed out and I can't swimAnd my baby's on the other side...
