I'd like to get the lyric to the song (I believe it may have been sung by Andy Williams) whose lyric begins: "In the summer time when all the trees and leaves are green and the red bird sings, I'll be blue 'cause you don't want my love."

Don't know about Andy Williams...But I know about Roger Miller.....


IN THE SUMMERTIME (You Don't Want My Love)
Words and music by Roger Miller

In the summertime, when all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, I'll be blue, 'cause you don't want my love
Some other time, that's what you say, when I want you
Then you laugh at me and make me cry, 'cause you don't want my love.

(Refrain) You don't seem to care a thing about me
You'd rather live without me, than to have my arms around you
When the nights are cold and you're so all alone.
In the summertime, when all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, I'll be blue, 'cause you don't want my love.

Once upon a time, you used to smile and wave to me
And walk with me, but now you don't, you don't want my love
Some other guy is takin' up all your time
Now you don't have time for me, you don't want my love. (Refrain)

Thanks again, Gene. You're an impeccable source.

Perhaps I would have had better luck when I looked in the local Public Library if I'd been looking for Roger Miller's music!
