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
