’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 Greenbrier 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 Greenbrier shore." 
But I was young and reckless too And I craved a reckless life I left my mother with a broken heart And I chose that girl to be my 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 Greenbrier shore 
The years rolled on and the months rolled by She left me all alone Now I remember what mother said Never trust that girl on the Greenbrier shore
