In the spring of 1949, that's when I crossed the county line It's there I saw in Seneca Creek A girl named Ruth who washed her feet I told her my name was RC Phares that I'd marry her with half a karat She said, "I do, but no stone can reach the prettiest shine of this here creek" The mud was deep and the roads were wide We'd retreat and then retake the lines Korean winters had torn me down and killed all the boys from my hometown But I'm coming home, Ruth, my dear I got money in my pocket, don't you fear We'll build a life by Seneca Creek You'll have everything you'll ever need Let's build a home by Seneca Creek and raise ourselves a family I'll work on the farm, you work the store We'll have everything we ever hoped for With the top of a mountain above our heads and the roar of Seneca by the bed Seneca Creek And sure enough, the hard times came You loved those, I did the same We made it through the winter's cold And many summers young and old In '85, the creek did rise but it only took the other side The Gandee, North Fork and South Branch too The house stood still that I built for you In '94, when you got sick, we'd make up trips for the hell of it Take my hand, Ruth, my dear I'll take you back to any year And now you lie on the hill up high Right beneath the mountain sky Seneca Creek sings below Atop the tree sits a lonely crow We built a home by Seneca Creek and raised ourselves a family I worked on the farm, you worked the store We had everything we'd ever hoped for With the top of a mountain above our heads and the roar of Seneca by the bed Seneca Creek
Stumbled across this on autoplay from radio wv. this is so amazing. just beautiful. Makes me so incredibly homesick. Maybe one day i will see them woods again. Stay Blessed Everyone.
Both my grandfather's were Korean Vets, both came home to start their families, both lost their ring fingers working the farm. Ones gone and ones still here, this song hits home.
I am curious as to which Seneca Creek this is referring to the one in SC or Maryland? This is a great song! It tells a great story and heartfelt! Thank you bro!

In the spring of 1949, that's when I crossed the county line
It's there I saw in Seneca Creek
A girl named Ruth who washed her feet
I told her my name was RC Phares that I'd marry her with half a karat
She said, "I do, but no stone can reach the prettiest shine of this here creek"
The mud was deep and the roads were wide
We'd retreat and then retake the lines
Korean winters had torn me down and killed all the boys from my hometown
But I'm coming home, Ruth, my dear
I got money in my pocket, don't you fear
We'll build a life by Seneca Creek
You'll have everything you'll ever need
Let's build a home by Seneca Creek and raise ourselves a family
I'll work on the farm, you work the store
We'll have everything we ever hoped for
With the top of a mountain above our heads and the roar of Seneca by the bed
Seneca Creek
And sure enough, the hard times came
You loved those, I did the same
We made it through the winter's cold
And many summers young and old
In '85, the creek did rise but it only took the other side
The Gandee, North Fork and South Branch too
The house stood still that I built for you
In '94, when you got sick, we'd make up trips for the hell of it
Take my hand, Ruth, my dear
I'll take you back to any year
And now you lie on the hill up high
Right beneath the mountain sky
Seneca Creek sings below
Atop the tree sits a lonely crow
We built a home by Seneca Creek and raised ourselves a family
I worked on the farm, you worked the store
We had everything we'd ever hoped for
With the top of a mountain above our heads and the roar of Seneca by the bed
Seneca Creek

My favorite version. On the porch with crickets and frogs singing backup. Doesn't get better than this
It was our first house show. Still my favorite show I've ever seen.
Bliss
