I'll never swim kern river again
It was there that i met him
There that i lost my best friend
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

He grew up in an oil town
But that gusher never came in
And the river was a boundary
Where my darling and i used to swim

One night in the moonlight
The swiftness swept his life away
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 mt. whitney
From where the mighty kern river comes down

Now 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 that i met him
There that i lost my best friend
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 that i met him
There that i lost my best friend
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
No, i'll never swim kern river again
