Song Lyrics

Verse 1
As I was a-walking one morning at ease,
Viewing the leaves as they fell from the trees,
They were all in full motion appearing to be,
And those that were withered they fell from a tree.
Chorus
What's the life of a man any more than a leaf?
A man has his seasons, then why should he grieve?
Although in this wide world he appears fine and gay,
Like a leaf he will wither and soon fade away.
Verse 2
You should have seen the leaves but a short time ago,
They were all in full motion appearing to grow,
Till the frost came and bit them, and withered them all,
And the storm came upon them and down they did fall.
Chorus
Verse 3
Down in yonder church yard many names you will see,
That have fallen from this world as the leaves from the tree,
Old age and affliction upon them did fall,
And death and disease came and blighted them all.
