Ely Joe - Twisty River Bridge Lyrics

I recall that Twisy River Bridge

Over that painted river bed

They pumped about a gallon of Muddy Water

Out of my salty head.



I woke up in St. James Devine

All wrapped up in plaster and twine

The nurse said I made the front page

Of the River City Sunday Times.



Oh, that Twisty River Bridge

Was damn near, the death of me

Love, wine and Gasoline

Don't mix with jealousy



Have you seen my Reena

Did she, did she make it home?

We had a little misunderstanding

Talkin on the telephone



Tell her that I miss her

But I dont miss what she done

When she run off with that double talkin

Son of a Preachers son



Oh, that Twisty River Bridge

Was damn near, the death of me

Love, wine and Gasoline

Don't mix with jealousy
