[Verse 1]
---------------------
       A#m         G#add11/C C#
In the spring of 1949
       G#                     A#m
That's when I crossed the county line
                G#add11/C      C#
It's there I saw        in Seneca Creek
  G#                         A#m
A girl named Ruth who washed her feet
                   G#add11/C C#
I told her my name was     RC phares
     G#                       A#m
That I'd marry her with half a  karat
                    G#add11/C    C#
She said "I do, but no      stone can reach
    G#                      A#m
The prettiest shine of this here creek"

[Verse 2]
---------------------
                     G#add11/C     C#
The mud was deep and the     roads were wide
     G#                      A#m
We'd retreat and then retake the lines
               G#add11/C    C#
Korean winters had     torn me down
           G#                   A#m
And killed all the boys from my hometown
                    G#add11/C     C#
But I'm coming home,        Ruth, my dear
  G#                            A#m
I got money in my pocket, don't you fear
                   G#add11/C   C#
We'll build a life by      Seneca Creek
       G#                      A#m A#m
You'll have everything you'll ever  need

[Verse 3]
---------------------
C#                 G#     F#          C#
Let's build a home by Seneca Creek And
                G#add11/C A#m
raise ourselves a       family
C#                     G#       F#
I'll work on the farm, you work the store
      C#              G#add11/C A#m
We'll have everything we      ever for
     C#                    G#    F#               C#
With the top of a mountain above our heads And the
            G#add11/C  A#m         C# G# C# G#add11/C
roar of Seneca      by the bed Seneca

[Verse 4]
---------------------
A#m              G#add11/C   C#     G#
And sure enough, the     hard times came
                       A#m
You loved yours, I did the same
                          G#add11/C  C#
But we made it through the        winter's cold
G#                        A#m
And many summers young and  old
      G#add11/C   C#
In '85        the creek did rise
   G#               A#m
But it only took the  other side
                   G#add11/C  C#            G#
Took Gandee, North Fork    and South Branch too
                           A#m
The house still stood that I built

[Verse 5]
---------------------
A#m C# G# A#m   A#m      G#add11/C C# G#
         for you In '94 when you got sick
                       A#m                G#add11/C C#           G#
We'd make up trips for the hell of it Take        my hand, Ruth, my dear
                   A#m
I'll take you back to any year
            G#add11/C  C#       G#                   A#m
And now you lie     on the hill up high Right beneath
                     G#add11/C C#      G#                     A#m
the mountain sky Seneca Creek sings below Atop the tree sit's

[Outro]
---------------------
 A#m C#
a  lonely crow
         G#       F#     C#
We built a home by Seneca Creek
           G#add11/C A#m   C#
And raised ourselves a family
            G#            F#              C#
I worked on the farm, you worked the store
        G#add11/C     A#m          C#
We had everything we'd  ever hoped for
                  G#       F#             C#
With the top of a mountain above our heads
                G#add11/C A#m
And the roar of Seneca by the bed
C#
