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