I took it to the bridge, but the bridge was gone
I couldn't get back to my baby
The river's very wide, couldn't see the other side
So i had to decide what would the way be
(I said)
Why's she got to be so far away
How come I can't get to her today
I just want her to come out and play
But today it's here I got to stay

I took it to the bridge but the bridge was down
I couldn't get around to my baby
I'd have to dive right in, had to be sink or swim
I might have to drown for my baby
(I said)
Why's she got to be so far away
How come I can't get to her today
I just want her to come out and play
But today it's here I got to stay

I went to the bank to see if I could ford
But I just can't afford to see my baby
The bank was very steep and the water, way too deep
And baby, baby it was way too wavy
(I said)
Why's she got to be so far away
How come I can't get to her today
I just want her to come out and play
But today it's here I got to stay

I went to find a boat but it wouldn't stay afloat
I couldn't get across to my baby
The water's way too cold, it'll freeze soon I was told
You can walk across and take it to my baby
But I had no winter clothes, and in trying, froze my toes
Now how am I supposed to find my baby
(I say)
Why's she got to be so far away
How come I can't get to her today
I just want her to come out and play
But today it's here I got to stay
