Verse
[Verse 1]
Fm Cm7 G#
In the Spring of 1949
D# Fm
That’s when I crossed the county line
Fm Cm7 G#
It’s there I saw in Seneca Creek
D# Fm
F girl named Ruth who washed her feet
Fm Cm7 G#
I told her my name was RC Farris
D# Fm
That I’d marry her with half a karat
Fm Cm7 G#
She said "I do, but no stone can reach
D# Fm
"The prettiest shine of this here creek"
[Verse 2]
Fm Cm7 G#
The mud was deep and the roads were wide
D# Fm
We’d retreat and then re-take the lines
Fm Cm7 G#
Korean winters had torn me down
D# Fm
And killed all the boys from my hometown
Fm Cm7 G#
But I’m coming home, Ruth, my dear
D# Fm
I got money in my pocket, don’t you fear
Fm Cm7 G#
We’ll build a life by Seneca Creek
D# Fm
You’ll have everything you’ll ever need
[Chorus 1]
G# D# C#
Let’s build a home by Seneca Creek
G# D# Fm
And raise ourselves a family
G# D# C#
I’ll work on the farm, you work the store
G# D# Fm
We’ll have everything we ever hoped for
G# D# C#
With the top of a mountain above our heads
G# D# Fm
And the roar of Seneca by the bed
Cm7 G#
Seneca Creek
[Interlude]
G# Cm7 Fm G# D# Fm G# D# Fm
[Verse 3]
Fm Cm7 G#
And sure enough, the hard times came
D# Fm
You loved yours, I did the same
Fm Cm7 G#
But we made it through the winter’s cold
D# Fm
And many summers young and old
Fm Cm7 G#
In ’85 the creek did rise
D# Fm
But it only took the other side
Fm Cm7 G#
The Gandee, North Fork, and South Branch too
D# Fm
The house still stood that I built for you
[Interlude]
Fm G# D# Fm
[Verse 4]
Fm Cm7 G#
In ’94 when you got sick
D# Fm
We’d make up trips for the hell of it
Fm Cm7 G#
Take my hand, Ruth, my dear
D# Fm
I’ll take you back to any year
Fm Cm7 G#
And now you lie on the hill up high
D# Fm
Right beneath the mountain sky
Fm Cm7 G#
Seneca Creek sings below
D# Fm
Atop the tree sits a lonely crow
[Chorus 2]
G# D# C#
We built a home by Seneca Creek
G# D# Fm
And raised ourselves a family
G# D# C#
I worked on the farm, you worked the store
G# D# Fm
We had everything we'd ever hoped for
G# D# C#
With the top of a mountain above our heads
G# D# Fm
And the roar of Seneca by the bed
Cm7 G#
Seneca Creek
Slowly wind down with a G# to end it
