[00:04.15]I'll never swim Ker River again.
[00:08.91]It was there that I met her.
[00:12.12]It was there that I lost my best friend.
[00:18.89]And now I live in the mountains.
[00:21.76]I drifted up here with the wind.
[00:28.75]And I may drown in still water,
[00:31.65]But I'll never swim Kern River again.
[00:35.84]
[00:38.90]I grew up in an oil town,
[00:41.78]But my gusher never came in.
[00:48.95]And the river was a boundary
[00:51.61]Where my darlin' and I use to swim.
[00:56.12]
[00:58.90]One night in the moonlight
[01:01.64]The swiftness swept her live away.
[01:08.85]And now I live on Lake Shasta and
[01:11.68]Lake Shasta is where I will stay.
[01:16.15]
[01:18.86]There's the South San Joaquin,
[01:21.56]Where the seeds of the dust bowl are found.
[01:28.75]And there's a place called Mount Whitney
[01:31.42]From where the mighty Kern River comes down.
[01:35.75]
[01:38.92]Well, it's not deep nor wide,
[01:41.39]But it's a mean piece of water my friend.
[01:48.79]And I may cross on the highway,
[01:51.74]But I'll never swim Kern River again.
[01:57.38]
[01:59.33]I'll never swim Kern River again.
[02:04.11]It was there I first met her.
[02:07.00]It was there that I lost my best friend.
[02:14.08]And now I live in the mountains.
[02:16.75]I drifted up here with the wind.
[02:24.20]And I may drown in still water,
[02:26.91]But I'll never swim Kern River again.
[02:31.98]
[03:12.82]I'll never swim Kern River again.
[03:17.96]It was there I first met her.
[03:20.84]It was there that I lost my best friend.
[03:28.07]And now I live in the mountains.
[03:30.92]I drifted up here with the wind.
[03:37.82]And I may cross on the highway,
[03:40.65]But I'll never swim Kern River again.
