Lyrics The Green Fields of France

Well how do you do young Willie McBride
Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside
And rest for a while 'neath the warm summer sun
I've been walkin' all day and I'm nearly done
I see by your gravestone you were only nineteen when you joined the great fallen in nineteen sixteen
I hope you died well and I hope you died clean or young Willie McBride was it slow and obscene
Did they beat the drum slowly
Did they play the fife lowly
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down
Did the band play
The Last Post in chorus
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest
Did you leave e'er a wife or a sweetheart behind
In some faithful heart is your memory enshrined
Although you died back in nineteen sixteen in that faithful heart are you forever nineteen
Or are you a stranger without even a name
Enclosed and forever behind a glass frame
In an old photograph torn, battered and stained and faded to yellow in a brown leather frame
Did they beat the drum slowly
Did they play the fife lowly
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down
Did the band play
The Last Post in chorus
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest
The sun now it shines on the green fields of France
There's a warm summer breeze
Makes the red poppies dance
And look how the sun shines from under the clouds
There's no gas, no barbed wire
There's no gun firin' now
But here in this graveyard it's still No Man's Land
The countless white crosses stand mute in the sand
To man's blind indifference to his fellow man
To a whole generation that were butchered and damned
Did they beat the drum slowly
Did they play the fife lowly
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down
Did the band play
The Last Post in chorus
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest
Ah young Willie McBride
I can't help wonderin' why
Do those that lie here know why did they die
And did they believe when they answered the call
Did they really believe that this war would end wars
Well the sorrow, the sufferin'
The glory, the pain
The killin' and dyin' were all done in vain
For young Willie McBride it all happened again and again and again and again and again
Did they beat the drum slowly
Did they play the fife lowly
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down
Did the band play
The Last Post in chorus
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest
Did they beat the drum slowly
Did they play the fife lowly
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down
Did the band play
The Last Post in chorus
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest
