The Carter Family - Girl on the Greenbrier Shore lyrics

[Verse] Was 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 green-briar shore My mother dear, she came to me And said, "Oh, son, don't go Don't leave your mother and a home so dear To trust a girl on the green-briar shore" But I was young and reckless, too And I craved a reckless life I left my mother with a broken heart And I choose d 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 The girl I loved on the green briar shore The years rolled on and the months rolled by She left me all alone Now I remember what mother said "Never trust a girl on the green briar shore"
