The Bridge Washed Out
recorded by George Jones
written by Slim Williamson
Intro:
GThe bridge washed out and CI can't swim
And my Gbaby's on the D7other Gside
Well when I woke up this mornin' the rain was a-pourin' down
I was Cgonna wed me a little river girl just over the bridge across Gtown
I'm runnin' up and down the river and my nerves are drivin' me Cwild
Cause the Gbridge washed out and CI can't swim
And my Gbaby's on the D7other Gside
Rain oh rain stop fallin' dark clouds hurry from the sky
The Cpreacher and my bride is a-waitin'
And my weddin' bells are startin' to Gchime
I can't kiss and hold her and it's drivin' me outta my Cmind
The Gbridge washed out and CI can't swim
And my Gbaby's on the D7other Gside
Now I got one foot in the water the other foot solid on the ground
When I Ctry to swim that ragin' old river I know if I try I'll Gdrown
There's not a boat around me they've all gone out with the Ctide
And the Gbridge washed out and CI can't swim
And my Gbaby's on the D7other Gside
Repeat #2
The bridge washed out and CI can't swim
And my Gbaby's on the D7other Gside

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

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

The preacher and my bride is a-waitin'

And my weddin' bells are startin' to chime

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

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

The bridge washed out and I can't swim

G D7 G

And my baby's on the other side
