dave alvin - kern river lyrics

Loading...

i’ll never swim kern river again
it was there that i met him
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

he grew up in an oil town
but that gusher never came in
and the river was a boundary
where my darling and i used to swim

one night in the moonlight
the swiftness swept his life away
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 mt. 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 him
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

i’ll never swim kern river again
it was there that i met him
there that i lost my best friend
now i live in the mountains
i drifted up here with the wind
and i may cross on the highway
but i’ll never swim kern river again
no, i’ll never swim kern river again
