June Is a Comin' Lyrics

The fall is the sunniest time of the year

And the mountains are clear every day

But November it brings home the clouds

And the rain once again

December is many warm nights by the fire

Reading stories and sipping some beer

With the days growing longer

The end of the winter seems near



But sometime in March there's a magical day

When the perfume of springtime appears

And thе flowers and trees of Seattle

All bloom in thе rain

It's the time of the year that the money runs short

And the smell of the sea is so strong

When the boats are all painted

The fishermen soon will be gone



June is a comin', the salmon are running

And I've got to be on my way

I don't want to leave you, my darling

But there's so many more debts to pay

They say that the catch will be bigger this year

And we'll all come home rich in the end

I don't want to leave you my darling

But the nets will be loaded by dawn

June is a comin' and I must be rolling along



When I came home last fall we were married

And bought a small house seven blocks from the sound

She got a job as a waitress, I worked for a friend

At Christmas she told me she had a surprise

But I'd have to wait six months or so

I looked in her eyes and I wondered if I'd have to go



We sit by the fire and I strum my guitar

With my little boy singing to me

And it kills me to watch him

And think I'll be leaving again

So I look through the papers and call up my friends

But there isn't enough work around

And I find myself walking the streets

Of a small fishing town



June is a comin', the salmon are running

And I've got to be on my way

I don't want to leave you, my darling

But there's so many more debts to pay

They say that the catch will be bigger this year

And we'll all come home rich in the end

I don't want to leave you my darling

But the nets will be loaded by dawn

June is a comin' and I must be rolling along

June is a comin' and I must be rolling along
