Karaoké Girl from the Greenbrier Shore Ralph Stanley

T'was in the year of ninety two in the Merry month of June

I left my mother and the home so dear

To go with the girl from the Greenbrier shore

My mother dear she says to me said son don't you go

Don't leave your mother with a broken heart

And go with the girl from the Greenbrier shore

But I was young and reckless too

I craved a reckless life

I left my mother and my home so dear

I chose that girl to be my wife

Her hair was dark and curly too her loving eyes were blue

Her lips were like the red red rose

The girl I loved from the Greenbrier shore

The months rolled on the years rolled by she left me all alone

Now I remember what mama said

Never trust a girl from the Greenbrier shore
