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