The performance on that soundtrack was by the Brothers Four. Columbia LP #CS 8358(stereo) or CL 1558. I have the album if you are unable to locate it otherwise. |

Pickup(B7) The last time through, you stay on the Em-- Dimitri Tiomkin was one of the great movie composers, and based a lot of his material on folksongs--so this sounds like a simple folksong, at least til you try to figure out the chords-- |

More seriously, he put the theme from High Noon and others in the suite "A President's Country" which was used for a documentary on Texas in Johnson's day. There is an English cd of Tiompkin's music by the Royal College of Music, "Film Music", Unicorn label, which has this but lacks "The Alamo" music. |

30 Aug 01 - 08:35 PM (#538571) Subject: RE: Green Leaves of Summer From: Joe Offer On their "B.M.O.C." album, the Brothers Four credit the song to P.F. Webster and D. Tiomkin. Another source says the song came out in 1960, words by Paul Francis Webster and music by Dimitri Tiomkin. Tiomkin wrote the music for "High Noon (Do Not Forsake Me)," and also that Gene Pitney classic, "Town Without Pity." Webster wrote the lyrics to "April Love," "Somewhere My Love (Lara's Theme)," and "Twelfth of Never." Now you know. -Joe Offer- |

E7 Am D7 G It was good to be young then, in the season of plenty, Em Am C7 B7 When the catfish were jumpin' as high as the sky. A time just for plantin', a time just for ploughin', A time to be courtin' a girl of your own. Twas 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 reapin', a time to be sowin', The green leaves of summer are callin' me home. Twas so good to be young then, with the sweet smell of apples, And the owl in the pine tree a-winkin' his eye. A time just for plantin', a time just for ploughin', A time just for livin', 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 callin' me home. Twas so good to be young then, to be close to the earth, Now the green leaves of summer are callin' me home. |
