Maple Syrup Time - Pete Seeger[00:00:00]
First you get the buckets ready [00:00:38]
Clean the pans and gather firewood [00:00:40]
Late in the winter [00:00:42]
It's maple syrup time [00:00:44]
You need warm and sunny days[00:00:47]
But still a cold and freezing nighttime[00:00:49]
For just a few weeks [00:00:52]
Maple syrup time [00:00:53]
We boil and boil and boil[00:00:56]
And boil it all day long [00:00:58]
Till ninety seven percent of water[00:01:01]
Evaporates just like this song[00:01:03]
And when what is left is syrupy[00:01:05]
Don't leave it too long[00:01:08]
Keep up the fire [00:01:11]
Maple syrup time [00:01:12]
I know it's not the quickest system[00:01:15]
But each year I can't resist it [00:01:17]
Get out the buckets [00:01:20]
And tap the trees in time[00:01:21]
Making it is half the fun [00:01:25]
And satisfaction when it's done [00:01:27]
Keep up the fire [00:01:29]
Maple syrup time [00:01:31]
My grandpa says perhaps[00:01:33]
It's just a waste of time [00:01:35]
Ah but no more than[00:01:38]
This attempt to make a happy little rhyme [00:01:40]
So or swing your tail [00:01:43]
But keep in[00:01:44]
But keep in the time [00:01:46]
Keep up the fire [00:01:48]
Maple syrup time [00:01:50]
I'll send this song around the world[00:02:30]
With love to every boy and girl [00:02:32]
Hoping they don't mind[00:02:35]
A little advice in rhyme [00:02:37]
Well find in life or revolution [00:02:40]
Rarely is there a quick solution [00:02:42]
Anything worthwhile takes a little time [00:02:44]
We boil and boil and boil[00:02:49]
And boil it all life long [00:02:51]
When what is left is syrupy [00:02:54]
Don't leave it on the flame too long [00:02:56]
But seize the minute [00:02:58]
Build a new world [00:03:00]
Sing an old song [00:03:01]
Keep up the fire [00:03:03]
Maple syrup time [00:03:04]
Keep up the fire [00:03:08]
Maple syrup time [00:03:09]
Keep up the fire [00:03:12]
Maple syrup time [00:03:14]
Keep up the fire [00:03:17]
Maple syrup time[00:03:19]
