I'll never swim Kern River again [00:00:02]
It was there that I met her [00:00:10]
It was there that I lost my best friend [00:00:13]
And now I live in the mountains [00:00:20]
I drifted up here with the wind [00:00:23]
And I may drown in still water [00:00:30]
But I'll never swim Kern River again [00:00:32]
I grew up in an oil town [00:00:40]
But my gusher never came in [00:00:43]
And the river was a boundary[00:00:50]
Where my darlin and I used to swim [00:00:52]
One night in the moonlight[00:00:59]
The swiftness swept here life away [00:01:02]
And now I live on Lake Shasta and[00:01:09]
Lake Shasta is where I will stay [00:01:12]
There's the South San Joaquin [00:01:19]
Where the seeds of the dust bowl are found [00:01:22]
And there's a place called Mount Whitney[00:01:29]
From where the mighty Kern River comes down [00:01:31]
Well it's not deep nor wide [00:01:39]
But it's a mean piece of water my friend [00:01:41]
And I may cross on the highway [00:01:48]
But I'll never swim Kern River again[00:01:51]
Oh I'll never swim Kern River again[00:01:58]
It was there that I met her[00:02:03]
It was there that I lost my best friend[00:02:07]
And now I live in the mountains[00:02:13]
I drifted up here with the wind[00:02:15]
And I may drown in still water[00:02:22]
But I'll never swim Kern River again[00:02:25]
