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