Seneca Creek (Acoustic) Charles Wesley Godwin

[Verse 1]
In the Spring of 1949
That’s when I crossed the county line
It’s there I saw in Seneca Creek
A girl named Ruth who washed her feet
I told her my name was RC Farris
That I’d marry her with half a karat
She said "I do, but no stone can reach
"The prettiest shine of this here creek"

[Verse 2]
The mud was deep and the roads were wide
We’d retreat and then re-take the lines
Korean winters had torn me down
And killed all the boys from my hometown
But I’m coming home, Ruth, my dear
I got money in my pocket, don’t you fear
We’ll build a life by Seneca Creek
You’ll have everything you’ll ever need

[Chorus 1]
Let’s build a home by Seneca Creek
And raise ourselves a family
I’ll work on the farm, you work the store
We’ll have everything we ever hoped for
With the top of a mountain above our heads
And the roar of Seneca by the bed
Seneca Creek
