Lyrics:

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.
