Maple Syrup Time - Pete Seeger
First you get the buckets ready
Clean the pans and gather firewood
Late in the winter
It's maple syrup time
You need warm and sunny days
But still a cold and freezing nighttime
For just a few weeks
Maple syrup time
We boil and boil and boil
And boil it all day long
Till ninety seven percent of water
Evaporates just like this song
And when what is left is syrupy
Don't leave it too long
Keep up the fire
Maple syrup time
I know it's not the quickest system
But each year I can't resist it
Get out the buckets
And tap the trees in time
Making it is half the fun
And satisfaction when it's done
Keep up the fire
Maple syrup time
My grandpa says perhaps
It's just a waste of time
Ah but no more than
This attempt to make a happy little rhyme
So or swing your tail
But keep in
But keep in the time
Keep up the fire
Maple syrup time
I'll send this song around the world
With love to every boy and girl
Hoping they don't mind
A little advice in rhyme
Well find in life or revolution
Rarely is there a quick solution
Anything worthwhile takes a little time
We boil and boil and boil
And boil it all life long
When what is left is syrupy
Don't leave it on the flame too long
But seize the minute
Build a new world
Sing an old song
Keep up the fire
Maple syrup time
Keep up the fire
Maple syrup time
Keep up the fire
Maple syrup time
Keep up the fire
Maple syrup time
