John McCutcheon It's Fall Lyrics

[Verse]
Sheep are sheared to spin and weave
Farmers bringing in the sheaves
Autumn comes and autumn leaves
It's fall, that's all
Summertime has come and gone
Winter soon'll be coming on
We've got three months to sing this song
It's fall, that's all

[Chorus]
Yes it's fall, that's all
I really must confess
Of the summer and the winter and the springtime, too
It's autumn I love best
Fire in the fireplace, pumpkin in the yard
Give me a choice it's not too hard
It's fall, that's all

(It's fall, that's all)

[Verse]
End of summer, back to school
Days are getting short and cool
Better drain the water from the pool
It's fall, that's all
What's that smell that's in the air?
Leaves are rustling everywhere
It's time for woolen underwear
It's fall, that's all

[Chorus] Yes it's fall, that's all
I really must confess
Of the summer and the winter and the springtime, too
It's autumn I love best
Fire in the fireplace, pumpkin in the yard
Give me a choice it's not too hard
It's fall, (It's fall, that's all) that's all

[Verse]
Labor Day and Halloween
Garden lying picked and clean
There's sunsets like you've never seen
It's fall, that's all
The world turns yellow, orange, then red
At grandma's house we will all be fed
On pumpkin pie and gingerbread
It's fall, that's all

[Chorus]
Yes it's fall, that's all
I really must confess
Of the summer and the winter and the springtime, too
It's autumn I love best
Fire in the fireplace, pumpkin in the yard
Give me a choice it's not too hard
It's fall, (It's fall, that's all) that's all
