Green Leaves of Summer

Aah ah ah ah ahah ah ah ah

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 are jumping as high as the sky

A time just for planting a time just for plaughing

A time to be courting 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 reaping a time to be sawing

The green leaves of summer are calling me home

It was good to be young then to be close to the earth

Now the green leaves of summer are calling me home

Twas so good to be young then to be close to the earth

Now the green leaves of summer are calling me home
