Lyrics for Song: September Song
Lyrics for Album: Live At The Soldiers Club, Fort Ord, California 1955 [2004]



When I was a young man courting the girls


I played me a waiting game


If a maid refused me with tossing curls


I'd let the old Earth make a couple of whirls


While I plied her with tears in lieu of pearls


And as time came around she came my way


As time came around, she came





Oh, it's a long long while from May to December


But the days grow short when you reach September


When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame


And you ain't got time for waiting game





When days dwindle down to a precious few


September November,


And these few golden days I'd share with you


Those golden days I share with you





When you meet with the young girls early in the Spring


You court them in song and rhyme


They answer with words and a clover ring


But if you could examine the goods they bring


They have little to offer but the songs they sing


And the plentiful waste of time of day


A plentiful waste of time





Oh, it's a long, long while from May to December


But the days grow short when you reach September


When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame


One hasn't got time for the waiting game





Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few


September, November


And these few precious days I'll spend with you


These precious days I'll spend with you
