Paroles de The girl on the greenbriar shore

'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 lovin' 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."
