Verse
[Verse 1]
Dm Am7 F
In the Spring of 1949
C Dm
That’s when I crossed the county line
Dm Am7 F
It’s there I saw in Seneca Creek
C Dm
D girl named Ruth who washed her feet
Dm Am7 F
I told her my name was RC Farris
C Dm
That I’d marry her with half a karat
Dm Am7 F
She said "I do, but no stone can reach
C Dm
"The prettiest shine of this here creek"
[Verse 2]
Dm Am7 F
The mud was deep and the roads were wide
C Dm
We’d retreat and then re-take the lines
Dm Am7 F
Korean winters had torn me down
C Dm
And killed all the boys from my hometown
Dm Am7 F
But I’m coming home, Ruth, my dear
C Dm
I got money in my pocket, don’t you fear
Dm Am7 F
We’ll build a life by Seneca Creek
C Dm
You’ll have everything you’ll ever need
[Chorus 1]
F C A#
Let’s build a home by Seneca Creek
F C Dm
And raise ourselves a family
F C A#
I’ll work on the farm, you work the store
F C Dm
We’ll have everything we ever hoped for
F C A#
With the top of a mountain above our heads
F C Dm
And the roar of Seneca by the bed
Am7 F
Seneca Creek
[Interlude]
F Am7 Dm F C Dm F C Dm
[Verse 3]
Dm Am7 F
And sure enough, the hard times came
C Dm
You loved yours, I did the same
Dm Am7 F
But we made it through the winter’s cold
C Dm
And many summers young and old
Dm Am7 F
In ’85 the creek did rise
C Dm
But it only took the other side
Dm Am7 F
The Gandee, North Fork, and South Branch too
C Dm
The house still stood that I built for you
[Interlude]
Dm F C Dm
[Verse 4]
Dm Am7 F
In ’94 when you got sick
C Dm
We’d make up trips for the hell of it
Dm Am7 F
Take my hand, Ruth, my dear
C Dm
I’ll take you back to any year
Dm Am7 F
And now you lie on the hill up high
C Dm
Right beneath the mountain sky
Dm Am7 F
Seneca Creek sings below
C Dm
Atop the tree sits a lonely crow
[Chorus 2]
F C A#
We built a home by Seneca Creek
F C Dm
And raised ourselves a family
F C A#
I worked on the farm, you worked the store
F C Dm
We had everything we'd ever hoped for
F C A#
With the top of a mountain above our heads
F C Dm
And the roar of Seneca by the bed
Am7 F
Seneca Creek
Slowly wind down with a F to end it
