Autumn leaves look like they'd be

Sweet as bourbon whiskey

But they'll bring you down

Like summer rain

And they took away the girl

Who that once was with me

Well it looks like its gonna be another California Autumn

In my soul now

It looks like its gonna rain but you know it ain't now

All the pretty girls have gone away now

So best time you'll ever find to runaway

Fiddle/dobro lead

Why She went away I'll never know

She doesn't know

She took the summer with her

I'll pass this way some other day

And I'll leave behind

Lonesome memories of her
