_ [Bb] _ In the spring of [Db] 1949, _ [Ab] that's when I crossed the [Bb] county line.
[Bbm] _ It's there I [Ab] saw in Seneca [Db] Creek, _ a girl named Ruth who washed her [Bbm] feet.
_ I told her [Cm] my name was R.C. [Db] Ferris, [Ab] that I'd marry her with half a [Bbm] care.
She said, I do, but no [Db] stone can't reach the [Ab] pretty shine of this here creek. _ _ _ _
The mud was deep and the [Db] roads were wide.
[Ab] We'd retreat and then retake [Bbm] the lines.
The Korean [Db] winters had torn me down [Ab] and killed all the boys from my [Bbm] hometown.
But I'm coming home, Ruth, [Db] my dear.
[Ab] I got money in my pocket, don't [Bbm] you fear.
We'll build a life by Seneca [Db] Creek. _
[Ab] You'll have everything you'll [Bbm] ever need. _
_ _ _ _ [Db] Let's build a home by [Gb] Seneca Creek and [Db] raise ourselves a family.
I'll work on the farm, you'll [Gb] work the store.
We'll [Db] have everything we'd [Bbm] ever hoped for.
[Db] With the top of the mountain [Gb] above our heads and the [Db] roar of Seneca by the bed.
Seneca Creek.

And sure enough, [Db] hard times came.
[Ab] You loved yours, I did the same. _
We made it through [Db] the winter's cold and [Ab] the many summers young and old. _
In 85, the [Db] creek did rise, but [Ab] it only took the other [Bbm] side.
We gained the north fork [Db] and south branch till the [Ab] house that stood that I built for you. _
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ In 94, when [Db] you got six, [Ab] we'd make up trips for the [Bbm] hell of it.
_ Take my [Db] hand, Ruth, my dear.
[Ab] I'll take you back to any [Bbm] year.
[Bbm] And now you [Db] lie on the hill of high, _ [Ab] right beneath the mountain [Bbm] sky.
_ Seneca [Db] Creek sings below. _
_ [Ab] Top of the tree sits a [Bbm] lonely grove.
_ _ _ [Db] We'll build a home by [Gb] Seneca Creek [Db] and raise ourselves a [Bbm] family.
_ [Db] I'll work on the farm, you'll [Gb] work the store.
[Db] We'll have everything we'd [Bbm] ever hoped for.
[Db] With the top of the mountain above [Gb] our heads [Db] and the roar of Seneca [Bbm] by the bed.
[Db] Seneca Creek.
