Lyrics for Song: The Bridge Washed Out
Lyrics for Album: Country Fever [Decca] [1967]



(Mel Melshee - Jimmy Louis - Sandra Smith - Slim Williamson)



The bridge washed out 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 are drivin' me wild

Because the bridge washed out I can't swim

And my baby's on the other side.



Rain, oh, rain stop a fallin'

Sark clouds hurry from the sky

The preacher and my bride are waitin'

And the weddin' bells are startin' to chime.



I can't kiss and hold her

And it's drivin' me out of my mind

'Cause the bridge washed out I can't swim

And my baby's on the other side.



--- Instrumental ---



Now I got one foot in the river

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

'Cause the bridge washed out I can't swim

And my baby's on the other side



'Cause the bridge washed out I can't swim

And my baby's on the other side...
