Lyrics

[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
