Intro:
G C
The bridge washed out and I can't swim
G D7 G
And my baby's on the other side
Well when I woke up this mornin' the rain was a-pourin' down
C G
I was gonna wed me a little river girl just over the bridge across town
C
I'm runnin' up and down the river and my nerves are drivin' me wild
G C
Cause the bridge washed out and I can't swim
G D7 G
And my baby's on the other side
Rain oh rain stop fallin' dark clouds hurry from the sky
C
The preacher and my bride is a-waitin'
G
And my weddin' bells are startin' to chime
C
I can't kiss and hold her and it's drivin' me outta my mind
G C
The bridge washed out and I can't swim
G D7 G
And my baby's on the other side
Now I got one foot in the water the other foot solid on the ground
C G
When I try to swim that ragin' old river I know if I try I'll drown
C
There's not a boat around me they've all gone out with the tide
G C
And the bridge washed out and I can't swim
G D7 G
And my baby's on the other side
Repeat #2
C
The bridge washed out and I can't swim
G D7 G
And my baby's on the other side
