Floating Bridge

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 [bad word]  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 'nuff 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 
They tell me, five minutes underwater when I was hid
