Kern River
Merle Haggard
CHORUS:
I'll Dnever swim Kern River aAgain.
AIt was there that I met her.
AIt was there that I lost my best Efriend.E7
And now I Dlive in the mountains.
I C#mdrifted up here with the Dwind.
And I may Adrown in still water,
But I'll Enever swim Kern River aAgain.
VERSE
I grew Aup in an oil town,
But my Dgusher never came Ain.
And the rivAer was a boundary
A E (E7) E9
Where my darlin' and I used to swim.
AOne night in the moonlight
DThe swiftness swept here life aAway.
AAnd now I live on Lake Shasta and
ALake EShasta is where I will Astay.
CHORUS
AThere's the South San Joaquin,
Where the Dseeds of the dust bowl are Afound.
AAnd there's a place called Mount Whitney
A E (E7) E9
>From where the mighty Kern River comes down.
Well, it's Anot deep nor wide,
ABut it's a Dmean piece of water my Afriend.
AAnd I may cross on the highway,
But I'll Enever swim Kern River Aagain
