September Song:Roy Clark.
#40 on BB Hot Country and #103 on BB Hot
100 on CAPITOL Records in 1969.
(Intro)
(Spoken)
When I was a young man courtin' the girls
I played me a waiting game.
If a maid refused me with tossin' curls, I let
this old world take a couple of whirls.
While I plied her with tears instead of pearls
and as time came along, she came my way.
As time came along, she came.
(Verse 1)
But it's a Ablong, long time from May to EbDecember.
But the days Fmgrow Fshort Abmwhen you reach EbSeptember.
And when the autumn Abweather turns the Ebleaves to
flame and one hasn't got Ftime Abfor the Abmwaiting Ebgame.
(Chorus)
Oh, the Abdays dwindle down to a precious Ebmfew,
AbSeptember and EbmNovember.
BbBut these few Abprecious days I'll spend with Ebyou,
these precious Fdays AbmI'll spend with Ebyou.
(Chorus)
Oh, the Abdays dwindle down to a precious Ebmfew,
AbSeptember and EbmNovember.
BbBut these few Abprecious days I'll spend with Ebyou,
these precious Fdays AbmI'll spend with Ebyou.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.

As time came along, she came.
