Green Leaves of Summer |
| A time to be reapin', a time to be sowin'. |
| The green leaves of Summer are callin' me home. |
| 'Twas so good to be young then, in a season of plenty, |
| When the catfish were jumpin' as high as the sky. |
| A time just for plantin', a time just for ploughin'. |
| A time to be courtin' a girl of your own. |
| 'Twas so good to be young then, to be close to the earth, |
| And to stand by your wife at the moment of birth. |
| A time to be reapin', a time to be sowin'. |
| The green leaves of Summer are callin' me home. |
| 'Twas so good to be young then, with the sweet smell of apples, |
| And the owl in the pine tree a-winkin' his eye. |
| A time just for plantin', a time just for ploughin'. |
| A time just for livin', a place for to die. |
| 'Twas so good to be young then, to be close to the earth, |
| Now the green leaves of Summer are callin' me home. |
| 'Twas so good to be young then, to be close to the earth, |
| Now the green leaves of Summer are callin' me home. |
