The Green Leaves of Summer - Frankie Laine

作词：Dimitri Tiomkin/Paul Francis Webster

作曲：Dimitri Tiomkin/Paul Francis Webster

A time to be reapin' a time to be sowin'

The green leaves of Summer are callin' me home

'Twas so good to be young then in a season of plenty

When the catfish were jumpin' as high as the sky

A time just for plantin' a time just for ploughin'

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 to be reapin' a time to be sowin'

The green leaves of Summer are callin' me home

'Twas so good to be young then with the sweet smell of apples

And the owl in the pine tree awinkin' his eye

A time just for plantin' a time just for ploughin'

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 callin' me home

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

Now the green leaves of Summer are callin' me home
