Did You Ever See the Leaves?
Tune – “Did You Ever See a Lassie”
BBCD#4, Track #13 (3 colors) and #14 (4 colors)
Did you ever see the leaves, the leaves, the leaves,
Did you ever see the leaves on a tree in the fall?
The red ones are falling, the yellow ones are falling,
The orange ones are falling,
(for Track #14, add the brown ones are falling,)
Did you ever see the leaves on a tree in the fall?
As you sing the song, children can touch and drag the leaf that corresponds with the words. On the
recording, you will notice piano glissandos (gliding from one pitch to another – in this case,
downward) after each line, i.e. “the red ones are falling,” signaling the children to touch and drag
the leaf to the bottom of the board.
