'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 she says son don't go
Don't leave me home 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
Her eyes were loving 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 my mother said
Never trust a girl on the Greenbriar shore
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 she says son don't go
Don't leave me home 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
Her eyes were loving 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 my mother said
Never trust a girl on the Greenbriar shore
