To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time to every purpose, under heaven
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time to every purpose, under heaven
A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together
To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time to every purpose, under heaven
A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing
To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time to every purpose, under heaven
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late

It Wont Be Wrong
(McGuinn / Gerst)
Every time I see you smile, come to me, don't be long
Let me tell you how my heart goes wild.
Please let me love you and it won't be wrong
Every time you're in my arms, come to me, don't be long
You know that I'll never do you no harm
Please let me love you and it won't be wrong
[Chorus:]
Let me love you and then you'll see, come to me, come to me
Let me show you once and we'll be free
Please let me love you and it won't be wrong
Every time I see you smile, come to me, don't be long
Let me tell you how my heart goes wild.
Please let me love you and it won't be wrong
[Chorus]
Every time I see you smile, come to me, don't be long
Let me tell you how my heart goes wild.
Please let me love you and it won't be wrong
Every time you're in my arms, come to me, don't be long
You know that I'll never do you no harm
Please let me love you and it won't be wrong
[Chorus:]
Let me love you and then you'll see, come to me, come to me
Let me show you once and we'll be free
Please let me love you and it won't be wrong
Every time I see you smile, come to me, don't be long
Let me tell you how my heart goes wild.
Please let me love you and it won't be wrong
[Chorus]

Set You Free This Time
(Clark)
The first thing that I heard you say when you were standing there
Set in your way was that you were not blind
You were sure to make a fool of me cause there was nothing there
That you could see that could go beyond your mind
Now who's standing at the door remembering the days before
And asking please be kind
It isn't how it was set up to be but I've set you free this time
I have never been so far out in front that I could ever ask for what I want
And have it any time
Knowing this you found a thought for me that told you just what I should be
And there I stood behind
With all the ones that went before and memories that always seems to
Tear me from my mind
In front of what it is you seem me to be I've set you free this time
I could never find a chance to choose between a way to win or a
Thing to lose because there was your stand
On top of all the love you took
There was only something you can look at lying in your hand
Now who's wondering what has changed and why it can not be arranged
To have each thing work fine
It isn't how it was set up to be but I'll set you free this time
The first thing that I heard you say when you were standing there
Set in your way was that you were not blind
You were sure to make a fool of me cause there was nothing there
That you could see that could go beyond your mind
Now who's standing at the door remembering the days before
And asking please be kind
It isn't how it was set up to be but I've set you free this time
I have never been so far out in front that I could ever ask for what I want
And have it any time
Knowing this you found a thought for me that told you just what I should be
And there I stood behind
With all the ones that went before and memories that always seems to
Tear me from my mind
In front of what it is you seem me to be I've set you free this time
I could never find a chance to choose between a way to win or a
Thing to lose because there was your stand

Lay Down Your Weary Tune
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you strum
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum
Struck by the sounds before the sun
I knew the night had gone
The morning breeze like a bugle blew
Against the drums of dawn
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you strum
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum
The ocean wild like an organ played
The seaweed wove and strands
The crashin' waves like cymbals clashed
Against the rocks and sands
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you strum
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum
The last of leaves fell from the trees
And clung to a new love's breast
The branches bare like a banjo monk
To the winds that listened the best
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you strum
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum
Lay down the song you strum
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum
Struck by the sounds before the sun
I knew the night had gone
The morning breeze like a bugle blew
Against the drums of dawn
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you strum
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum
The ocean wild like an organ played
The seaweed wove and strands
The crashin' waves like cymbals clashed
Against the rocks and sands
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you strum
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum
The last of leaves fell from the trees
And clung to a new love's breast
The branches bare like a banjo monk
To the winds that listened the best
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you strum
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum

He Was A Friend Of Mine
(Traditional, arranged by McGuinn)
He was a friend of mine, he was a friend of mine
His killing had no purpose, no reason or rhyme
He was a friend of mine
He was in Dallas town, he was in Dallas town
From a sixth floor window a gunner shot him down
He was in Dallas town
He never knew my name, he never knew my name
Though I never met him I knew him just the same
Oh he was a friend of mine
Leader of a nation for such a precious time
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine, he was a friend of mine
His killing had no purpose, no reason or rhyme
He was a friend of mine
He was in Dallas town, he was in Dallas town
From a sixth floor window a gunner shot him down
He was in Dallas town
He never knew my name, he never knew my name
Though I never met him I knew him just the same
Oh he was a friend of mine
Leader of a nation for such a precious time
He was a friend of mine

The World Turns All Around Her
(Clark)
Well if you think she's everything you could want
And if you think she's everything that could be
Well I still think the world turns all around her
And I still wish that she belonged to me
I don't know how I ever could thought that
I'd let her go and still be just the same
Well I found out my world turned all around her
And every where I go I hear her name
Somewhere along the way I don't know why
I thought that I would want to let her go
But now whenever I see her with you I
Realize how much I didn't know
So if you tell her everyday you love her
And if you tell her everything she could be
You'll find out that your world will turn around her
You'll feel the same if you should set her free
Well if you think she's everything you could want
And if you think she's everything that could be
Well I still think the world turns all around her
And I still wish that she belonged to me
I don't know how I ever could thought that
I'd let her go and still be just the same
Well I found out my world turned all around her
And every where I go I hear her name
Somewhere along the way I don't know why
I thought that I would want to let her go
But now whenever I see her with you I
Realize how much I didn't know
So if you tell her everyday you love her
And if you tell her everything she could be
You'll find out that your world will turn around her
You'll feel the same if you should set her free

Satisfied Mind
(Hayes / Rhodes)
How many times have you heard someone say:
If I had his money I could do things my way.
But little they know that it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind.
Once I was winning in fortune and fame
Everything I could wish for to get a start in life's game,
Then suddenly it happend, I lost every dime.
But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind.
Money won't buy back your youth when you're old
A friend when you're lonely or a love that's grown cold.
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind.
When my life is over, my time has run out
My friends and my loved ones will weep, there's no doubt.
But one thing's for certain, when it comes my time
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind.

If Youre Gone
(Clark)
If I need you to me your everything
If I have you if I love you just the same
If your here the night is likely going to fall
If your gone I'll see the daylight in that song
If I stand alone understanding what is now
If I ever need someone to show me how
If the daylight can be hidden by the sun
If your gone then I'll know why I miss someone
If I love you if I know how much I care
If I find the things you wanted anywhere
If I know you I may never know your name
If your gone then there is nothing that remains
If I need you to me your everything
If I have you if I love you just the same
If your here the night is likely going to fall
If your gone I'll see the daylight in that song
If I stand alone understanding what is now
If I ever need someone to show me how
If the daylight can be hidden by the sun
If your gone then I'll know why I miss someone
If I love you if I know how much I care
If I find the things you wanted anywhere
If I know you I may never know your name
If your gone then there is nothing that remains

The Times They Are a-Changin'
[ Originally by Bob Dylan ]
Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
Admit that the waters
Around you have grown
Accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'
Come writers and critics
Prophesize with your pen
Keep your eyes open
The chance won't come again
And watch what you say
Or the wheel's still in spin
There's no tellin' who
That it's namin'
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he who gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
The battle outside ragin'
It rattle your windows
And shake down your walls
For the times they are a-changin'
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin'
Get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'

Wait And See
(McGuinn / Crosby)
Watch out what you say, dont get in my way
I'm gonna get that girl, wait and see
I saw her today, she came by my way
I'm gonna win her love just for me
And together we'll go walkin'
Through the evening still be talkin'
She's the kind of girl you never hardly see
Have you seen her eyes, do you realize
How much love likt that can mean to me?
I know she knows me, today after tea
The way she held her head when she walked by
And before the night is over
I think I'm gonna love her
And if it last forever I don't care
Say now she is mine, I told you all the time
How could I let a girl like that go by
And before the night is over
I think I'm gonna love her
And if it last forever I don't care
Watch out what you say, dont get in my way
I'm gonna get that girl, wait and see
I saw her today, she came by my way
I'm gonna win her love just for me
And together we'll go walkin'
Through the evening still be talkin'
She's the kind of girl you never hardly see
Have you seen her eyes, do you realize
How much love likt that can mean to me?
I know she knows me, today after tea
The way she held her head when she walked by
And before the night is over
I think I'm gonna love her
And if it last forever I don't care
Say now she is mine, I told you all the time
How could I let a girl like that go by
And before the night is over
I think I'm gonna love her
And if it last forever I don't care

Oh! Susannah
(McGuinn)
Well I come from Alabama with a banjo on my kneee
And I'm going to Lousiana Sasannah for to see
Oh Susannah now don't you cry for me
Cause I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee
Well it rained so hard the night I left, the weather it was dry
And it was so hot I froze to death, Susannah don't you cry
Oh Susannah now don't you cry for me
Cause I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee
Well I come from Alabama with a banjo on my kneee
And I'm going to Lousiana Sasannah for to see
Oh Susannah now don't you cry for me
Cause I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee
Well it rained so hard the night I left, the weather it was dry
And it was so hot I froze to death, Susannah don't you cry
Oh Susannah now don't you cry for me
Cause I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee

Turn! Turn! Turn! is the second studio album by the American rock band the Byrds, released on December 6, 1965, by Columbia Records. Like its predecessor, Mr. Tambourine Man, the album epitomized the folk rock genre and continued the band's successful mix of vocal harmony and jangly twelve-string Rickenbacker guitar. The album's lead single and title track, "Turn! Turn! Turn!", which was adapted by Pete Seeger from text in the Book of Ecclesiastes, had previously been arranged in a chamber-folk style by the Byrd's lead guitarist Jim McGuinn for folk singer Judy Collins' third album, but the arrangement he used for the Byrds' recording of the song utilizes the same folk-rock style as the band's previous hit singles.
The album peaked at number 17 on the Billboard Top LPs chart and went to number 11 in the United Kingdom. The "Turn! Turn! Turn!" single preceded the album by two months and topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Another single taken from the album, "Set You Free This Time", was less successful and failed to break into the top 50 in the U.S.
On Turn! Turn! Turn!, McGuinn's contributions to songwriting increased and rhythm guitarist David Crosby received his first writing credit on a Byrds' album, but the band's prolific songwriter Gene Clark still contributed most of the original material. The album included two Bob Dylan covers: "The Times They Are a-Changin'" and the then-unreleased song, "Lay Down Your Weary Tune". It would be the last Byrds' album to feature the full participation of Gene Clark until the release of the original quintet's 1973 reunion album, Byrds.
