Verse
[Verse 1]
A#m Fm7 C#
In the Spring of 1949
G# A#m
That’s when I crossed the county line
A#m Fm7 C#
It’s there I saw in Seneca Creek
G# A#m
A# girl named Ruth who washed her feet
A#m Fm7 C#
I told her my name was RC Farris
G# A#m
That I’d marry her with half a karat
A#m Fm7 C#
She said "I do, but no stone can reach
G# A#m
"The prettiest shine of this here creek"
[Verse 2]
A#m Fm7 C#
The mud was deep and the roads were wide
G# A#m
We’d retreat and then re-take the lines
A#m Fm7 C#
Korean winters had torn me down
G# A#m
And killed all the boys from my hometown
A#m Fm7 C#
But I’m coming home, Ruth, my dear
G# A#m
I got money in my pocket, don’t you fear
A#m Fm7 C#
We’ll build a life by Seneca Creek
G# A#m
You’ll have everything you’ll ever need
[Chorus 1]
C# G# F#
Let’s build a home by Seneca Creek
C# G# A#m
And raise ourselves a family
C# G# F#
I’ll work on the farm, you work the store
C# G# A#m
We’ll have everything we ever hoped for
C# G# F#
With the top of a mountain above our heads
C# G# A#m
And the roar of Seneca by the bed
Fm7 C#
Seneca Creek
[Interlude]
C# Fm7 A#m C# G# A#m C# G# A#m
[Verse 3]
A#m Fm7 C#
And sure enough, the hard times came
G# A#m
You loved yours, I did the same
A#m Fm7 C#
But we made it through the winter’s cold
G# A#m
And many summers young and old
A#m Fm7 C#
In ’85 the creek did rise
G# A#m
But it only took the other side
A#m Fm7 C#
The Gandee, North Fork, and South Branch too
G# A#m
The house still stood that I built for you
[Interlude]
A#m C# G# A#m
[Verse 4]
A#m Fm7 C#
In ’94 when you got sick
G# A#m
We’d make up trips for the hell of it
A#m Fm7 C#
Take my hand, Ruth, my dear
G# A#m
I’ll take you back to any year
A#m Fm7 C#
And now you lie on the hill up high
G# A#m
Right beneath the mountain sky
A#m Fm7 C#
Seneca Creek sings below
G# A#m
Atop the tree sits a lonely crow
[Chorus 2]
C# G# F#
We built a home by Seneca Creek
C# G# A#m
And raised ourselves a family
C# G# F#
I worked on the farm, you worked the store
C# G# A#m
We had everything we'd ever hoped for
C# G# F#
With the top of a mountain above our heads
C# G# A#m
And the roar of Seneca by the bed
Fm7 C#
Seneca Creek
Slowly wind down with a C# to end it
