Bridge Washed Out Lyrics - George Jones

(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 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. 

--- Instrumental --- 

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' 

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. 

The bridge washed out and I can't swim 

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