As I stepped out one morning
In the springtime of the year
I made my way down to the railway station
To watch the trains go passing by
Go and tell my sister
Not to do a sigh of joy
Go and tell my mother
What has happened to the sun
Ah, ah, in the springtime
In the springtime

Ah, ah, in the springtime of the year
From too much love of living
I find myself in misery
And I will give a brief thanks
To whatever you may be
Go and tell my sister
Not to do a sigh of joy
Go and tell my mother
What has happened to the sun
Ah, ah, in the springtime
In the springtime
Ah, ah, in the springtime of the year
From too much love of living
Ah, ah, in the springtime
In the springtime
Ah, ah, in the springtime
Ah, ah, in the springtime Of the next springtime
I'm off to the league
