Pete Seeger
Maple Syrup Time

[Intro]
Forget about the mess of merchandise the modern world is selling to take a little time to take a little tip from Scott and Helen
Up among the maple trees, harmonizing with the breeze
I heard someone say

[Verse 1]
It's maple syrup time
It's maple syrup time
First you get the buckets ready, clean the pens, and gather firewood
Late in the winter, it's maple syrup time
You need warm and sunny days, but still a cold a freezing nighttime
For just a few weeks, it's maplе syrup time

[Chorus 1]
We boil, and boil, and boil, and boil it all day long
'Til Ninety-Sеven percent of water evaporates, just like this song
And what is left is syrupy, don't leave it to long
Watch out for burning, maple syrup time
Maple syrup time

[Verse 2]
I know it's not quickest system, but each year I can't resist it
Get out the buckets, and tap the trees in time
Making it is half the fun, and satisfaction when it's done
Keep up the fire, maple syrup time
[Chorus 2]
While others frown, and freak, and fret, and wrinkle brows
Deep in the Sugar Bush with Mother Nature
We renew our vows
And share this melody beneath the snow covered ground
Keep up the fire

[?]

[Verse 3]
We'll send this song to Pete and Toshi
In late winter I just she's wispering soft
It's maple syrup time
As in life for revolution
Rarely is there quick solution
Anything worthwhile, takes a little time (A little time)

[Chorus 3]
We boil, and boil, and boil, and boil it all day long
When what is left is syrupy
Don't you leave it on, the flame to long
What sees the many, build a new world
Singing a song
Keep up the fire
Maple syrup time
Maple syrup time
[End]
