[verse 1]

Those lovely leaves of brown 

I watch them fall all the way down 

From the old sycamore trees 

Gliding gently on the breeze 

[verse 2]

That was the scene, last September 

Of our first kiss, how I remember 

That magic evening, no one else was around 

As I fell with the leaves of brown 

[bridge]

There was I, captivated 

By the red and orange hues 

Then you came along, oh baby 

And made ‘em all old news

[verse 3]

You took me to the county fair 

Held my hand a hundred feet in the air 

My feet never touched the ground

As I fell with the leaves of brown 

[instrumental solo]

[bridge]

There was I, captivated 

By the red and orange hues 

Then you came along, oh baby 

And made ‘em all old news

[verse 3]

You took me to the county fair 

Held my hand a hundred feet in the air 

My feet never touched the ground

As I fell with the leaves of brown

Title: The Leaves of Brown

Recorded by: Dr. Pepper and His Soda Pop Orchestra (featuring Linda Nash)

Release date: August 8th, 1948

Description: "Ray Pepper was a man of principle, and refused to compromise his band's style when the beboppers began to take over in the late forties. "The Leaves of Brown", serendipitously released on 8/8/48, reflected the classic Swing style that earned the band its tried and true fans in the heyday of the Big Band. America liked it well enough to make it a top twenty hit, and over the years, a standard for the swing band repertoire. Miss Linda Nash provides the vocal; her departure from the group only a few months later to follow in the footsteps of solo singers like Fitzgerald and Sinatra signaled the beginning of the end of the band's golden age. Despite this, she and Ray remained close friends for the rest of their lives."
