这个最早在John Wayne 主演的电影Alamo里的主题歌曲，由一个俄罗斯移民的犹太作曲
家写的，描写本土本乡，生于斯，长于斯，死于斯，捍卫家乡的感情。
下面是四兄弟合唱的版本
一样动人的歌词：
A time to be reaping
A time to be sowing
The green leaves of summer
Are calling me home
'Twas 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 ploughing
A time to be courting
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 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
'Twas so good to be young then
To be close to the earth
Now the green leaves of summer
Are calling me home
后来著名的电影作曲家Ennio Morricone在另一部电影用作改编的主题曲
