text: I awoke today and found the frost perched on the town
  It hovered in a frozen sky and gobbled summer down
  When the sun turns traitor cold
  And all the trees are shivering in a naked row
  I get the urge for goin, but I never seem to go
  I met a girl in summertime, summer-coloured skin
  Not another boy in town my darlins heart could win
  When the leaves fell tremblin down
  Bully winds did push their faces in the snow
  She got the urge for goin and I had to let her go
  She got the urge for goin when
  The meadow grass was turnin brown
  Summertime was fallin down
  And winter closin in
  Now the warriors of winter give a cold triumphant shout
  And all that stays is dyin, all that lives is gettin out
  See the geese in chevron flight
  A-flappin and a-racin on before the snow
  They got the urge for going, theyve got the wings to go
  Id like to call back summertime
  And have her stay for just another month or so
  But shes got the urge for goin
  So I guess shell have to go
  And I get the urge for going when
  The meadow grass is turnin brown
  Summertime is fallin down
  And winters closin in
