[00:00.000]	作曲 : Charles Wesley Godwin
[00:19.592]	In the Spring of 1949
[00:29.590]	That’s when I crossed the county line
[00:35.429]	It’s there I saw in Seneca Creek
[00:40.989]	A girl named Ruth who washed her feet
[00:46.329]	I told her my name was RC Farris
[00:51.567]	That I’d marry her with half a karat
[00:57.115]	She said "I do, but no stone can reach
[01:02.604]	"The prettiest shine of this here creek"
[01:11.544]	The mud was deep and the roads were wide
[01:16.531]	We’d retreat and then re-take the lines
[01:22.393]	Korean winters had torn me down
[01:27.323]	And killed all the boys from my hometown
[01:32.975]	But I’m coming home, Ruth, my dear
[01:38.019]	I got money in my pocket, don’t you fear
[01:43.888]	We’ll build a life by Seneca Creek
[01:48.882]	You’ll have everything you’ll ever need
[01:57.794]	Let’s build a home by Seneca Creek
[02:02.769]	And raise ourselves a family
[02:08.487]	I’ll work on the farm, you work the store
[02:13.452]	We’ll have everything we ever hoped for
[02:19.554]	With the top of a mountain above our heads
[02:24.415]	And the roar of Seneca by the bed
[02:29.638]	Seneca Creek
[02:34.791]
[02:59.742]	And sure enough, the hard times came
[03:05.287]	You loved yours, I did the same
[03:10.602]	But we made it through the winter’s cold
[03:15.568]	And many summers young and old
[03:21.429]	In ’85 the creek did rise
[03:26.206]	But it only took the other side
[03:32.106]	It took Gandee, North Fork, and South Branch too
[03:37.326]	The house still stood that I built for you
[03:54.658]	In ’94 when you got sick
[03:59.774]	We’d make up trips for the hell of it
[04:05.354]	Take my hand, Ruth, my dear
[04:10.397]	I’ll take you back to any year
[04:16.232]	And now you lie on the hill up high
[04:21.555]	Right beneath the mountain sky
[04:27.460]	Seneca Creek sings below
[04:32.216]	Atop the tree sits a lonely crow
[04:40.996]	We built a home by Seneca Creek
[04:45.984]	And raised ourselves a family
[04:51.121]	I worked on the farm, you worked the store
[04:56.286]	We had everything we'd ever hoped for
[05:02.165]	With the top of a mountain above our heads
[05:07.210]	And the roar of Seneca by the bed
[05:12.571]	Seneca Creek
