Girl on the Greenbriar Shore

'Twas in the year of '92
In the 4 merry month of 1 June
I left my mother and a home so dear
For the girl I 5 loved on the Greenbrier 1 shore

My mother dear, she came to me
And said "Oh son, don't go,"
"Don't leave your mother and a home so dear
To trust a girl on the Greenbrier shore."

But I was young and reckless too
And I craved a reckless life
I left my mother with a broken heart
And I chose that girl to be my wife

Her hair was dark and curly too
And her loving eyes were blue
Her cheeks were like the red red rose
The girl I loved on the Greenbrier shore

The years rolled on and the months rolled by
She left me all alone
Now I remember what mother said
Never trust that girl on the Greenbrier shore
