Girl On The Greenbriar Shore

'Twas in the year of '92,

In the merry month of June,

I left my mother and a home so dear

For the girl I loved on the greenbriar 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 greenbriar shore. "

But I was young and reckless too,

And I craved a reckless life

I left my mother with a broken heart

And I choosed 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 greenbriar shore.

The years rolled on and the months rolled by

She left me all alone

Now I remember what mother said

Never trust a girl on the greenbriar shore
