[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 the re-take the blinds
[?] winters tore me down
and k!lled 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

[verse 3]
and sure enough, the hard times came
you [?] yours, i did the same
we made it through the winter’s cold
and many summers young and old
in ’85 the creek did rise
but it only took the other side
[?] north fork and south branch too
the house still stood that i built for you

[verse 4]
in ’94 when you got sick
we’d make up trips for the h-ll of it
take my hand, ruth, my dear
i’ll take you back to any year
and now you lie on the hill up high
right beneath the mountain sky
seneca creek sings below
[?] sits [?]

[chorus 2]
we built a home by seneca creek
and raised ourselves a family
i worked on the farm, you worked the store
we had everything we’d ever hoped for
with the top of a mountain above our heads
and the roar of seneca by the bed
seneca creek
