Verse
[Verse 1]
Gm Dm7 A#
In the Spring of 1949
F Gm
That’s when I crossed the county line
Gm Dm7 A#
It’s there I saw in Seneca Creek
F Gm
G girl named Ruth who washed her feet
Gm Dm7 A#
I told her my name was RC Farris
F Gm
That I’d marry her with half a karat
Gm Dm7 A#
She said "I do, but no stone can reach
F Gm
"The prettiest shine of this here creek"
[Verse 2]
Gm Dm7 A#
The mud was deep and the roads were wide
F Gm
We’d retreat and then re-take the lines
Gm Dm7 A#
Korean winters had torn me down
F Gm
And killed all the boys from my hometown
Gm Dm7 A#
But I’m coming home, Ruth, my dear
F Gm
I got money in my pocket, don’t you fear
Gm Dm7 A#
We’ll build a life by Seneca Creek
F Gm
You’ll have everything you’ll ever need
[Chorus 1]
A# F D#
Let’s build a home by Seneca Creek
A# F Gm
And raise ourselves a family
A# F D#
I’ll work on the farm, you work the store
A# F Gm
We’ll have everything we ever hoped for
A# F D#
With the top of a mountain above our heads
A# F Gm
And the roar of Seneca by the bed
Dm7 A#
Seneca Creek
[Interlude]
A# Dm7 Gm A# F Gm A# F Gm
[Verse 3]
Gm Dm7 A#
And sure enough, the hard times came
F Gm
You loved yours, I did the same
Gm Dm7 A#
But we made it through the winter’s cold
F Gm
And many summers young and old
Gm Dm7 A#
In ’85 the creek did rise
F Gm
But it only took the other side
Gm Dm7 A#
The Gandee, North Fork, and South Branch too
F Gm
The house still stood that I built for you
[Interlude]
Gm A# F Gm
[Verse 4]
Gm Dm7 A#
In ’94 when you got sick
F Gm
We’d make up trips for the hell of it
Gm Dm7 A#
Take my hand, Ruth, my dear
F Gm
I’ll take you back to any year
Gm Dm7 A#
And now you lie on the hill up high
F Gm
Right beneath the mountain sky
Gm Dm7 A#
Seneca Creek sings below
F Gm
Atop the tree sits a lonely crow
[Chorus 2]
A# F D#
We built a home by Seneca Creek
A# F Gm
And raised ourselves a family
A# F D#
I worked on the farm, you worked the store
A# F Gm
We had everything we'd ever hoped for
A# F D#
With the top of a mountain above our heads
A# F Gm
And the roar of Seneca by the bed
Dm7 A#
Seneca Creek
Slowly wind down with a A# to end it
