It was 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
T'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.
T'was so good to be young then, to be close to the earth
Now the green leaves of Summer are calling me home
T'was so good to be young then, to be close to the earth,
Now the green leaves of Summer are calling me home.
Ooooooooooooooh, oooh oooh...
這首發行於 1960 年的《The Green Leaves of Summer》，是電影《邊城英烈傳》（The Alamo）的靈魂插曲，由著名音樂家 Dimitri Tiomkin 與 Paul Francis Webster 共同創作。四兄弟合唱團以其標誌性的四部和聲，將這首充滿鄉愁與青春懷舊的歌曲，唱成了跨越世代的永恆經典。
