歌曲名 Kern River

歌手名 Emmylou Harris

I'll never swim Ker 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 use to swim

One night in the moonlight

The swiftness swept her live 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

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

And 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

But I'll never swim Kern River again
