The Green Leaves of Summer (The Alamo)

A time to be reapin'
 A time to be sowin'
 The green leaves of summer
 Are callin' me home
 It was good to be young then
 In the season of plenty
 When the catfish were jumpin'
 As high as the sky
 A time just for plantin'
 A time just for plowin'
 A time to be courtin'
 A girl of your own
 It was 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
 It was good to be young then
 With the sweet smell of apples
 And the owl in the pine tree
 Is winkin' his eye
 A time just for plantin'
 A time just for plowin'
 A time just for settin'
 A place for to die
 It was so good to be young then
 To be close to the earth
 Now the green leaves of summer
 Are callin' me home
 It was so good to be young then
 To be close to the earth
 Now the green leaves of summer
 Are callin' me home
