The Green Leaves of Summer (From "The Alamo") |
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. |
