Verse
[Verse 1]
Bm F#m7 D
In the Spring of 1949
A Bm
That’s when I crossed the county line
Bm F#m7 D
It’s there I saw in Seneca Creek
A Bm
B girl named Ruth who washed her feet
Bm F#m7 D
I told her my name was RC Farris
A Bm
That I’d marry her with half a karat
Bm F#m7 D
She said "I do, but no stone can reach
A Bm
"The prettiest shine of this here creek"
[Verse 2]
Bm F#m7 D
The mud was deep and the roads were wide
A Bm
We’d retreat and then re-take the lines
Bm F#m7 D
Korean winters had torn me down
A Bm
And killed all the boys from my hometown
Bm F#m7 D
But I’m coming home, Ruth, my dear
A Bm
I got money in my pocket, don’t you fear
Bm F#m7 D
We’ll build a life by Seneca Creek
A Bm
You’ll have everything you’ll ever need
[Chorus 1]
D A G
Let’s build a home by Seneca Creek
D A Bm
And raise ourselves a family
D A G
I’ll work on the farm, you work the store
D A Bm
We’ll have everything we ever hoped for
D A G
With the top of a mountain above our heads
D A Bm
And the roar of Seneca by the bed
F#m7 D
Seneca Creek
[Interlude]
D F#m7 Bm D A Bm D A Bm
[Verse 3]
Bm F#m7 D
And sure enough, the hard times came
A Bm
You loved yours, I did the same
Bm F#m7 D
But we made it through the winter’s cold
A Bm
And many summers young and old
Bm F#m7 D
In ’85 the creek did rise
A Bm
But it only took the other side
Bm F#m7 D
The Gandee, North Fork, and South Branch too
A Bm
The house still stood that I built for you
[Interlude]
Bm D A Bm
[Verse 4]
Bm F#m7 D
In ’94 when you got sick
A Bm
We’d make up trips for the hell of it
Bm F#m7 D
Take my hand, Ruth, my dear
A Bm
I’ll take you back to any year
Bm F#m7 D
And now you lie on the hill up high
A Bm
Right beneath the mountain sky
Bm F#m7 D
Seneca Creek sings below
A Bm
Atop the tree sits a lonely crow
[Chorus 2]
D A G
We built a home by Seneca Creek
D A Bm
And raised ourselves a family
D A G
I worked on the farm, you worked the store
D A Bm
We had everything we'd ever hoped for
D A G
With the top of a mountain above our heads
D A Bm
And the roar of Seneca by the bed
F#m7 D
Seneca Creek
Slowly wind down with a D to end it
