[Verse 1]
As I stepped out one morning
In the springtime of the year
I made my way down to the railway station
To watch the trains go passing by
[Pre-Chorus]
Go and tell my sister not to do as I have done
Go and tell my mother what has happened to her son
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, in the springtime, in the springtime
Oh, oh, in the springtime of the year
[Verse 2]
From too much love of living
Find myself a misery
And I will give a brief thanksgiving
To whatever you may be
[Pre-Chorus]
Go and tell my sister not to do as I have done
Go and tell my mother what has happened to her son
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, in the springtime, in the springtime
Oh, oh, in the springtime of the year
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, in the springtime, in the springtime
Oh, oh, in the springtime of the year
