Kern River Blues, Merle Haggards farewell song. July 1, 1985

did he sing it like me.. no he sang it his style,,,and they paid him :)

tells a sad story of diverting water. the Bakersfield-Oilldale river is dry now.

When I lived there it looked like the video of it.

Aragorn: @cash Rivers come and go, but this sing will echo throughout the universe for eternity! Oops, there is no air in space, so scratch that. But if there was, it would reach Mars around 2027! Well done, Cash :)
