The Green Leaves of Summer  (1960)

A time to be reaping. A time to be sowing
The green leaves of summer are calling me home
I was so good 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 plowing
A time to be courting a girl of your own
I was 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 reaping. A time to be sowing
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
