Verse
[Verse 1]
Em Bm7 G
In the Spring of 1949
D Em
That’s when I crossed the county line
Em Bm7 G
It’s there I saw in Seneca Creek
D Em
E girl named Ruth who washed her feet
Em Bm7 G
I told her my name was RC Farris
D Em
That I’d marry her with half a karat
Em Bm7 G
She said "I do, but no stone can reach
D Em
"The prettiest shine of this here creek"
[Verse 2]
Em Bm7 G
The mud was deep and the roads were wide
D Em
We’d retreat and then re-take the lines
Em Bm7 G
Korean winters had torn me down
D Em
And killed all the boys from my hometown
Em Bm7 G
But I’m coming home, Ruth, my dear
D Em
I got money in my pocket, don’t you fear
Em Bm7 G
We’ll build a life by Seneca Creek
D Em
You’ll have everything you’ll ever need
[Chorus 1]
G D C
Let’s build a home by Seneca Creek
G D Em
And raise ourselves a family
G D C
I’ll work on the farm, you work the store
G D Em
We’ll have everything we ever hoped for
G D C
With the top of a mountain above our heads
G D Em
And the roar of Seneca by the bed
Bm7 G
Seneca Creek
[Interlude]
G Bm7 Em G D Em G D Em
[Verse 3]
Em Bm7 G
And sure enough, the hard times came
D Em
You loved yours, I did the same
Em Bm7 G
But we made it through the winter’s cold
D Em
And many summers young and old
Em Bm7 G
In ’85 the creek did rise
D Em
But it only took the other side
Em Bm7 G
The Gandee, North Fork, and South Branch too
D Em
The house still stood that I built for you
[Interlude]
Em G D Em
[Verse 4]
Em Bm7 G
In ’94 when you got sick
D Em
We’d make up trips for the hell of it
Em Bm7 G
Take my hand, Ruth, my dear
D Em
I’ll take you back to any year
Em Bm7 G
And now you lie on the hill up high
D Em
Right beneath the mountain sky
Em Bm7 G
Seneca Creek sings below
D Em
Atop the tree sits a lonely crow
[Chorus 2]
G D C
We built a home by Seneca Creek
G D Em
And raised ourselves a family
G D C
I worked on the farm, you worked the store
G D Em
We had everything we'd ever hoped for
G D C
With the top of a mountain above our heads
G D Em
And the roar of Seneca by the bed
Bm7 G
Seneca Creek
Slowly wind down with a G to end it
