The bridge washed out - Warner Mack Composers: Jimmy Louis, Sandra Smith, Mart Melshee Label: Decca #1 country hit in 1965 Also recorded by George Jones and Ricky Nelson Bridge washed out and I can't swim And my baby's on the other side #1: When I awoke this mornin' the rain was a-pourin' down I was gonna wed a little river girl just over the bridge across town Now I'm a-runnin' up and down the river and my nerves are drivin' me wild Because the bridge washed out and I can't swim And my baby's on the other side #2: Rain, oh rain stop a fallin', dark clouds hurry from the sky The preacher and my bride's a waitin' and my weddin' bells are startin' to chime I can't kiss and hold her and it's a-drivin' me outta my mind 'cause the bridge washed out and I can't swim And my baby's on the other side Instrumental bridge: #3: And now I've got one foot in the water but one foot's solid on the ground I'd try to swim that ragin' 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 and I can't swim And my baby's on the other side #4: Rain, oh rain stop a fallin', dark clouds hurry from the sky The preacher and my bride's a waitin' and my weddin' bells are startin' to chime I can't kiss and hold her and it's a-drivin' me outta my mind 'cause the bridge washed out and I can't swim And my baby's on the other side Yeah the bridge washed out and I can't swim And my baby's on the other side
