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