oh that sweet time bye and bye
bare cotton fields and bales of hay
fallen leaves the color of rye
brisk breeze that brushed the strands of my hair
when pecans I did pick
from a tree in granny's old back yard
perched there beside the creek
I can feel it now if I close my eyes
southern dew that comes with twilight
while on the porch gathered round
a pumpkin daddy carved with his knife
yes orange, brown, yellow, red
October colors that fill my mind
when I rode with my love in a hayride wagon
back in 1859
sweet autumn it comes back to me
time and time again
to take me on my trip back home
to remember life back when.....
