Lyrics:

The Green Leaves Of Summer

Performed by Brothers Four

Wo...wo...
A time to be reaping
A time to be sowing
The green leaves of summer
Are calling me home '
Twas so good to be young then
In the season of plenty
When the catfish were jumping
As high as the sky

A time just for planting
A time just for ploughing
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, wo...

A time to be reaping
A time to be sowing
A time just for living
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
