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 plantin' a time just for plaughin'
|
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 just for plantin' a time just for plaughin'
|
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 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
