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 the 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', 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

[Instrumental interlude]

'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
