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