A time to be reaping ..a time to be sowing The green leaves of Summer are calling me home It was go+d 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 go\od to be young then, to be close to the Earth And to stand by your wife at the momment of birth .. A time to be reaping ..a time to be sowing, A time just for living ..a place for to die .. 'Twas so go+d to be young then, to be close to the Earth Now the green leaves of Summer are calling me home .. 'Twas so go\od to be young then, to be close to the Earth Now the green leaves of Summer are calling me home ....
