The Green Leaves of Summer |
| A time to be reaping, a time to be sowing |
| The green leaves of summer are calling me home |
| It was good to be young then in the season of plenty |
| When the catfish were jumping as high as the sky. |
| A time just for planting, a time just for plowing |
| A time to be courting a girl of your own |
| T’was 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 reaping, a time to be sowing |
| A time just for living, a place for to die. |
| T’was so good to be young then, to be close to the earth |
| Now the green leaves of Summer are calling me home |
| T’was so good to be young then, to be close to the earth, |
| Now the green leaves of Summer are calling be home. |
