The Green Leaves Of Summer Lyrics - Singles - The Brothers Four

Oooooooooooh, oooh ooh... 

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 were jumping as high as the sky. 

A time just for planting, a time just for plowing 

A time to be courting a girl of your own 

T'was 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 sowing 

A time just for living, a place for to die. 

T'was so good to be young then, to be close to the earth 

Now the green leaves of Summer are calling me home 

T'was so good to be young then, to be close to the earth, 

Now the green leaves of Summer are calling me home.
