Merle Haggard Miscellaneous Kern River (1985) I'll never swim Kern River again It was there that 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 grew up in an oil town but my 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 here life away And now I live on Lake Shasta and Lake Shasta is where I will stay Theres 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 neither 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 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 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 |
