A.P. Carter - The Girl on the Greenbriar Shore (live) lyrics

'Twas in the year of '92 In the merry month of June I left my mother and a home so dear All for that girl on the greenbriar shore My mother, she says, "Son, don't go Don't leave me here 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 And her lovin' eyes were blue Her cheeks were like the red red rose That girl I loved from 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 the girl on the greenbriar shore"
