Lyrics:

�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 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 cheeks 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
