Twisty River Bridge Lyrics - Ely Joe

I recall that Twisty River Bridge 

Over that painted river bed 

They pumped about a gallon of muddy mater 

Out of my crazy head 

I woke up in St. James Devine 

All wrapped up in plaster and twine 

The nurse said, I made the front page 

Of the River City Sunday Times 

Oh, there that Twisty River Bridge 

Was damn near, the death of me 

Love, wine and gasoline 

Don't mix with jealousy 

Now have you seen my Reena 

Did she make it home? 

We had a little misunderstanding 

Talkin' on the telephone 

Tell her that I miss her 

But I don't miss what she'd done 

When she run off with that double talkin' 

Son of a Preacher's son 

Oh, there that Twisty River Bridge 

Was damn near, the death of me 

Love, wine and gasoline 

Don't mix with jealousy 

Love, wine and gasoline 

Don't mix with jealousy 

That Twisty River Bridge 

That Twisty River Bridge
