The Green Leaves Of Summer Lyrics - Marty Robbins

A time to be reapin'a time to be sowin' 

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 jumpin' as high as the sky 

A time to be livin', a time to be laughin' 

A time to be dreamin' a dream of your own 

Was so good to be young then to be close to the earth 

Now the green leaves of summer are calling me home 

(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 of apples 

And the owl in the pine tree a-winkin' his eye 

(A time just for plantin', a time just for plowin') 

(A time just for livin', a place for to die)
