Bob Dylan - The Girl On The Greenbriar Shore Lyrics

Artist: Bob Dylan

Album: Tell Tale Signs

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: A.p. Carter

'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 she says son don't go
Don't leave me home 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
Her eyes were loving 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 my mother said
Never trust a girl on the Greenbriar shore

    I was listening to this song today from the "Tell Tale Signs" from Bob Dylan and I think I'll make it my next song to learn on the guitar. I love playing these kinds of ballads!

  • Lucero Hyatt

    Bob Dylan plays a great live acoustic version (1992) of this American folk song on "Tell Tale Signs" (2008). If you like this, you'll love Bob's duet with Ralph Stanley of "The Lonesome River," a Stanley classic, also from the 2-CD "Tell Tale Signs." Each song is part of Dylan's remarkable archaeology of American roots music. Bobcats await the release of more than 100 songs from the Basement Tape sessions with The Band. Bob Dylan has more music and life in him than all the so-called artists of a generation combined. His life is a blessing to all Americans -- even to those who say he can't sing or wouldn't know Bob Dylan from Adam.
