The Girl on the Greenbriar Shore Lyrics
'Twas in the year of '82,
In the springtime of the year,
I left my mother and a home so dear
All for that girl on the Greenbriar shore.
My mother, she says, "Son, don't go.
Don't leave me here alone.
Don't leave your mother and a home so dear.
Never trust a girl on the Greenbriar shore."
But I was young and reckless too,
And I craved a reckless life.
I left my mother and a home so dear
And I took 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
That girl I loved from the Greenbriar shore.
The years rolled on and the months rolled by,
She left me all alone.
Now I remember what my momma said,
"Never trust the girl on the Greenbriar shore.
In the springtime of the year,
I left my mother and a home so dear
All for that girl on the Greenbriar shore.
Don't leave me here alone.
Don't leave your mother and a home so dear.
Never trust a girl on the Greenbriar shore."
And I craved a reckless life.
I left my mother and a home so dear
And I took that girl to be my wife.
And her loving eyes were blue,
Her cheeks were like the red red rose
That girl I loved from the Greenbriar shore.
She left me all alone.
Now I remember what my momma said,
"Never trust the girl on the Greenbriar shore.
