Wo...wo... 
A time to be reaping 
A time to be sowing 
The green leaves of summer

In the season of plenty 
When the catfish were jumping 
As high as the sky 

A time just for planting

A time to be reaping

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
