When I awoke 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 runnin' up and down the river and my nerves are drivin' me wild
|
And the bridge washed out and I can't swim and my baby's on the other side
|
Well now rain oh rain stop a fallin' dark clouds hurry from the sky
|
The preacher and my bride are waitin' and the weddin' bells are startin' to chime
|
I can't kiss and hold her and it's drivin' me out of my mind
|
Cause the bridge washed out and I can't swim and my baby's on the other side
|

|
Now I got one foot in the river the other foot solid on the ground
|
I try to swim that ragin' river but I know if I try I'm gonna 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
|
Well now rain oh rain...
|
The bridge washed out and I can't swim and my baby's on the other side
