merle haggard – kern river lyrics

i’ll never swim kern river again.
it was there that i met her.
it was there that i lost my best friend.
and now i live in the mountains.
i drifted up here with the wind.
and i may drown in still water,
but i’ll never swim kern river again.
i grew up in an oil town,
but my gusher never came in.
and the river was a boundary,
where my darlin’ and i used to swim.
one night in the moonlight,
the swiftness swept her life away.
and now i live on lake shasta,
and lake shasta is where i will stay.
there’s the south san joaquin,
where the seeds of the dust bowl are found.
and there’s a place called mount whitney,
from where the mighty kern river comes down.
now, it’s not deep nor wide,
but it’s a mean piece of water, my friend.
and i may cross on the highway,
but i’ll never swim kern river again.
i’ll never swim kern river again.
it was there that i met her.
it was there that i lost my best friend.
and now i live in the mountains.
i drifted up here with the wind.
and i may drown in still water,
but i’ll never swim kern river again.
instrumental break.
i’ll never swim kern river again.
an’ it was there that i met her.
it was there that i lost my best friend.
now i live in the mountains.
i drifted up here with the wind.
and i may drown in still water,
but i’ll never swim kern river again.
