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 here 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

Well 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

Oh I'll never swim kern river again

It was there I first 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'll never swim kern river again

It was there I first 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 cross on the highway

But I'll never swim kern river again
