George Jones - Bridge Washed Out Lyrics

(The bridge washed out and I can't swim and my baby's on the other side)
When I awke 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' dark clouds hurry from the sky
The preacher and my bride is a waitin' and the weddin' bells are starting to chime
I can't kiss and hold her and it's driving me out of my mind
The bridge washed out and I can't swim and my baby's on the other side
[ guitar ]
Now I got one foot in the water the other foot solid on the ground
When I try to swim that ragin' ol' river 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 a fallin'...
The bridge washed out and I can't swim and my baby's on the other side
