It was released in July 1985 as the only single and title track from his album Kern River. The song peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart.[1] ContentThe song grimly recounts the story of the singer's girlfriend drowning in the Kern River, California.[2] In the 2013 biography Merle Haggard: The Running Kind writer David Cantwell calls the track "a scary record" that "screamed quiet and startled you alive."[3] Personnel
