[00:01.05][01:51.54][02:42.02]I'll never swim kern river again
[00:08.39][01:56.05][02:46.73]It was there that I met her
[00:10.97][01:58.32][02:49.24]It was there that I lost my best friend
[00:18.17][02:05.18][02:55.88]Now I live in the mountains
[00:20.59][02:07.72][02:58.30]I drifted up here with the wind
[00:27.80][02:14.63]I may drown in still water
[00:30.21][01:44.63][02:16.55][03:07.47]But I'll never swim kern river again
[00:37.27]I grew up in an oil town
[00:39.84]But my gusher never came in
[00:47.15]The river was a boundary
[00:49.01]Where my darling and I used to swim
[00:56.09]One night in the moonlight
[00:58.49]The swiftness swept here life away
[01:05.27]Now I live on lake shasta and
[01:07.79]Lake shasta is where I will stay
[01:14.53]There's the south san joaquin
[01:16.96]Where the seeds of the dust bowl are found
[01:23.80]There's a place called mount whitney
[01:25.97]From where the mighty kern river comes down
[01:32.83]Well it's not deep nor wide
[01:35.29]But it's a mean piece of water my friend
[01:41.97][03:05.14]I may cross on the highway
