Girl On the Greenbriar Shore - Tom Paley/Oscar Brand
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 dear she came to me
And she said oh son don't go
Don't leave your mother and a home so dear
To trust a girl on the greenbriar shore
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 m' wife
Her hair was dark and curly too
And her loving eyes were blue
Her lips 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 mother said
Never trust a girl on the greenbriar shore
