The Green Leaves Of Summer (The Alamo)
A time to be reapin'
A time to be sowin'
The green leaves of summer
Are callin' me home
It was good to be young then
In the season of plenty
When the catfish were jumpin'
As high as the sky
A time just for plantin'
A time just for plowin'
A time to be courtin'
A girl of your own
It was 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
It was good to be young then
With the sweet smell of apples
And the owl in the pine tree
Is winkin' his eye
A time just for plantin'
A time just for plowin'
A time just for settin'
A place for to die
It was so good to be young then
To be close to the earth
Now the green leaves of summer
Are callin' me home
It was so good to be young then
To be close to the earth
Now the green leaves of summer
Are callin' me home
A time to be sowin'
The green leaves of summer
Are callin' me home
It was good to be young then
In the season of plenty
When the catfish were jumpin'
As high as the sky
A time just for plantin'
A time just for plowin'
A time to be courtin'
A girl of your own
It was 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
It was good to be young then
With the sweet smell of apples
And the owl in the pine tree
Is winkin' his eye
A time just for plantin'
A time just for plowin'
A time just for settin'
A place for to die
It was so good to be young then
To be close to the earth
Now the green leaves of summer
Are callin' me home
It was so good to be young then
To be close to the earth
Now the green leaves of summer
Are callin' me home
