CHORUS
RE LA
I'll never swim Kern River again.
LA
It was there that I met her.
LA MI MI7
It was there that I lost my best friend.
RE
And now I live in the mountains.
DO#m RE
I drifted up here with the wind.
LA
And I may drown in still water,
MI LA
But I'll never swim Kern River again.
VERSE
LA
I grew up in an oil town,
RE LA
But my gusher never came in.
LA
And the river was a boundary
LA MI (E7) MI9
Where my darlin' and I used to swim.
LA
One night in the moonlight
RE LA
The swiftness swept here life away.
LA
And now I live on Lake Shasta and
LA MI LA
Lake Shasta is where I will stay.
CHORUS
LA
There's the South San Joaquin,
RE LA
Where the seeds of the dust bowl are found.
LA
And there's a place called Mount Whitney
LA MI (E7) MI9
From where the mighty Kern River comes down.
LA
Well, it's not deep nor wide,
LA RE LA
But it's a mean piece of water my friend.
LA
And I may cross on the highway,
MI LA
But I'll never swim Kern River again
