[78-L] AUTUMN LEAVES

[Swamp Daddy]

The answer is easy:   It's cause those autumn leaves look good before they FALL and still OK on the guy next doors property.  But the overnight blanket of them on your own lot is hard work, why write a song about it.  LOL.  

And, after you let them dry and rake them up, the next rain (usually they next day after raking) brings down a new crop of those Autumn Leaves, something I don't want to sing about.

And, more to the point...why does "fall" refer to the third season of the
year...when I, being somewhat crippled by age and previous incidents,
do most of my "falling" in Winter...?!
