《Kern River》歌词

[00:00:00] Kern River - Merle Haggard (梅尔·哈格德)

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

[00:00:08] It was there that I met her

[00:00:10] It was there that I lost my best friend

[00:00:17] And now I live in the mountains

[00:00:20] I drifted up here with the wind

[00:00:27] And I may drown in still water

[00:00:30] But I'll never swim Kern River again

[00:00:37] I grew up in an oil town

[00:00:39] But my gusher never came in

[00:00:46] And the river was a boundary

[00:00:48] Where my darlin and I used to swim

[00:00:55] One night in the moonlight

[00:00:58] The swiftness swept here life away

[00:01:05] And now I live on Lake Shasta and

[00:01:07] Lake Shasta is where I will stay

[00:01:14] There's the South San Joaquin

[00:01:16] Where the seeds of the dust bowl are found

[00:01:23] And there's a place called Mount Whitney

[00:01:25] From where the mighty Kern River comes down

[00:01:32] Well it's not deep nor wide

[00:01:34] But it's a mean piece of water my friend

[00:01:41] And I may cross on the highway

[00:01:44] But I'll never swim Kern River again

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

[00:01:55] It was there that I met her

[00:01:58] It was there that I lost my best friend

[00:02:04] And now I live in the mountains

[00:02:07] I drifted up here with the wind

[00:02:14] And I may drown in still water

[00:02:16] But I'll never swim Kern River again

[00:02:41] I'll never swim Kern River again

[00:02:46] An' it was there that I met her

[00:02:49] It was there that I lost my best friend

[00:02:55] Now I live in the mountains

[00:02:57] I drifted up here with the wind

[00:03:04] And I may drown in still water

[00:03:07] But I'll never swim Kern River again
