Lyrics:

(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...
