1
I'll never swim Kern River again
2
It was there that I met him
3
There that I lost my best friend
4
Now I live in the mountains
5
I drifted up here with the wind
6
And I may drown in still water
7
But I'll never swim Kern River again
8
He grew up in an oil town
9
But that gusher never came in
10
And the river was a boundary
11
Where my darling and I used to swim
12
One night in the moonlight
13
The swiftness swept his life away
14
Now I live on Lake Shasta
15
And Lake Shasta is where I will stay
16
There's the South San Joaquin
17
Where the seeds of the dust bowl are found
18
And there's a place called Mt. Whitney
19
From where the mighty Kern River comes down
20
Now it's not deep nor wide
21
But it's a mean piece of water my friend
22
And I may cross on the highway
23
But I'll never swim Kern River again
24
I'll never swim Kern River again
25
It was there that I met him
26
There that I lost my best friend
27
Now I live in the mountains
28
I drifted up here with the wind
29
And I may drown in still water
30
But I'll never swim Kern River again
31
I'll never swim Kern River again
32
It was there that I met him
33
There that I lost my best friend
34
Now I live in the mountains
35
I drifted up here with the wind
36
And I may cross on the highway
37
But I'll never swim Kern River again
38
No, I'll never swim Kern River again
