The Girl on the Greenbriar Shore (live) Lyrics
'Twas in the year of '92
In the merry month of June
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 mother said
"Never trust the girl on the greenbriar shore"
In the merry month of June
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 mother said
"Never trust the girl on the greenbriar shore"
