The Bridge Washed Out - Ricky Nelson

The bridge washed out\nI can’t swim\nAnd my baby’s on the other side\nWhen I awoke this mornin'\nThe rain was pourin' down\nI was gonna wed a little river girl\nJust over the bridge across town\nNow I’m runnin' up and down the river\nAnd my nerves are drivin' me wild\nBecause the bridge washed out\nI can’t swim\nAnd my baby’s on the other side\nRain, oh rain stop a fallin'\nDark clouds hurry from the sky\nThe preacher warned my bride’s a waitin'\nAnd the weddin' bells are startin' to chime\nI can’t kiss and hold her\nIt’s drivin' me outta my mind\nBecause the bridge washed out\nI can’t swim\nAnd my baby’s on the other side\nAnd now I’ve got one foot in the water\nBut one foots solid on the ground\nI’d try to swim that ragin' old river\nBut I know if I try I’ll drown\nThere’s not one boat around me\nThey’ve all gone out with the tide\nBecause the bridge washed out\nI can’t swim\nAnd my baby’s on the other side\n'Cause the bridge washed out\nI can’t swim\nAnd my baby’s on the other side
