"Girl On The Greenbriar Shore" lyrics - THE CARTER FAMILY

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 greenbriar shore

[Instrumental break]

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 greenbriar shore"

[Instrumental break]

But I was young and reckless, too
And I craved a reckless life
I left my mother with a broken heart
And I choosed that girl to be my wife

[Instrumental break]

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 greenbriar shore

[Instrumental break]

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 greenbriar shore"
