Marty Robbins - The Green Leaves Of Summer lyrics
rate meA time to be reapin'a time to be sowin'<br />
The green leaves of summer are calling me home<br />
It was good to be young then in the season of plenty<br />
When the catfish were jumpin' as high as the sky<br />
<br />
A time to be livin', a time to be laughin'<br />
A time to be dreamin' a dream of your own<br />
Was so good to be young then to be close to the earth<br />
Now the green leaves of summer are calling me home<br />
<br />
(A time to be reapin', a time to be sowin')<br />
(The green leaves of summer are callin' me home)<br />
<br />
It was good to be young then with the sweet smell of of apples<br />
And the owl in the pine tree a-winkin' his eye<br />
(A time just for plantin', a time just for plowin')<br />
(A time just for livin', a place for to die)<br />
<br />
T'was so good to be young then to be learning to pray<br />
And to thank the great maker each trouble free day
