I'LL NEVER SWIM KERN RIVER AGAIN
IT WAS THERE THAT I MET HER IT WAS THERE 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 BOUNDRY WHERE MY DARLING AND I USED TO SWIM
ONE NIGHT IN THE MOONLIGHT THE SWIFTNESS SWEPT HER LIFE AWAY
AND NOW I LIVE ON LAKE SHASTA
AND LAKE SHASTA IS WHERE I WILL STAY
SOUTH SAN JOAQUIN WHERE THE SEEDS OF THE DUSTBOWL 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
