Lyrics

well, i never will forget that floatin' bridge, well, i never will forget that floatin' bridge, well, i never will forget that ol' floatin' bridge, tell me, five minutes underwater when i was hid, when i was goin' down i throwed up my hands, yeah, when i was goin' down i throwed up my hands, now, when i was goin' down i throwed up my hands, lord, please, please take me on dry land, now, they carried me out the water an' they laid me on the bank, now, they carried me out the water an' they laid me on the bank, they carried me out the water, they laid me on the bank, about a gallon of muddy water i had drank, now, they dried me off an' they laid me on the bed, now, they dried me off an' they laid me on the bed, now, they dried me off, they laid me on the bed, don't like muddy water runnin' through my head, now, my mother often taught me, don't you be no bum, but my mother often taught me, don't you be no bum, but my mother often taught me, son, don't you be no bum, go somewhere settle down find you someone, now, the people standin' on the bridge was screamin' an' cryin', well, the people on the bridge was screamin' an' cryin', now, the people on the bridge was standin' screamin' an' cryin', lord, i thought sure that i was dyin', well, i never will forget that floatin' bridge, well, i never will forget that floatin' bridge, i never will forget that ol' floatin' bridge, tell me, five minutes underwater when i was hid, tell me, five minutes underwater when i was hid
