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 are jumping as high as the sky A time just for plantin' a time just for plaughin' 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 just for plantin' a time just for plaughin' 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 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 The green leaves of summer are calling me home Correct variant A time to be reaping a time to be sawing The green leaves of summer are calling me home It was good to be young then in the season of plenty When the catfish are jumping 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 sawin' The green leaves of summer are calling me home 'Twas so good to be young then with the sweet smell of apples And the owl in the pine tree akinking his eye. A time just for planting a time just for ploughin' 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.
