《Kern River》歌词

[00:00:02] I'll never swim Kern River again

[00:00:10] It was there that I met her

[00:00:13] It was there that I lost my best friend

[00:00:20] And now I live in the mountains

[00:00:23] I drifted up here with the wind

[00:00:30] And I may drown in still water

[00:00:32] But I'll never swim Kern River again

[00:00:40] I grew up in an oil town

[00:00:43] But my gusher never came in

[00:00:50] And the river was a boundary

[00:00:52] Where my darlin and I used to swim

[00:00:59] One night in the moonlight

[00:01:02] The swiftness swept here life away

[00:01:09] And now I live on Lake Shasta and

[00:01:12] Lake Shasta is where I will stay

[00:01:19] There's the South San Joaquin

[00:01:22] Where the seeds of the dust bowl are found

[00:01:29] And there's a place called Mount Whitney

[00:01:31] From where the mighty Kern River comes down

[00:01:39] Well it's not deep nor wide

[00:01:41] But it's a mean piece of water my friend

[00:01:48] And I may cross on the highway

[00:01:51] But I'll never swim Kern River again

[00:01:58] Oh I'll never swim Kern River again

[00:02:03] It was there that I met her

[00:02:07] It was there that I lost my best friend

[00:02:13] And now I live in the mountains

[00:02:15] I drifted up here with the wind

[00:02:22] And I may drown in still water

[00:02:25] But I'll never swim Kern River again
