Lyrics

'Twas in the year of '82,
 In the springtime of the year,
 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 momma said,
 "Never trust the girl on the greenbriar shore.
