《The Green Fields of France》歌词

[00:00:00] The Green Fields of France - Men They Couldn't Hang

[00:00:36] Well how do you do now you Willie MacBride

[00:00:44] Do you mind if I sit here down by your side

[00:00:54] And rest for a while 'neath the warm summer sun

[00:01:03] I've been walking all day and I'm nearly done

[00:01:12] Well I see by your gravestone you was only nineteen

[00:01:21] When you joined the great fallen of nineteen sixteen

[00:01:30] Well I hope you died well and I hope you died clean

[00:01:40] Or Willie MacBride was it low and obscene

[00:01:45] Did they beat the drums slowly

[00:01:47] And play the fife lowly

[00:01:50] Did they sound the death march

[00:01:53] As they lowered you down

[00:01:59] Did the band sound the last post and chorus

[00:02:07] Did they pipe the flowers of the forest

[00:02:16] Did you leave a young wife or a sweetheart behind

[00:02:25] In some faithful heart are your memories enshrined

[00:02:35] For although you died back in nineteen sixteen

[00:02:44] In that faithful heart you're forever nineteen

[00:02:53] Or are you a stranger without even a name

[00:03:03] Enclosed forever behind a glass pane

[00:03:12] In an old photograph tor battered and stained

[00:03:21] Faded to yellow with brown leather frayed

[00:03:26] Did they beat the drums slowly

[00:03:29] And play the fife lowly

[00:03:32] Did they sound the death march

[00:03:34] As they lowered you down

[00:03:41] Did the band sound the last post and chorus

[00:03:48] Did they pipe the flowers of the forest

[00:03:58] As the sun beats down

[00:04:00] On the green fields of France

[00:04:07] There's a soft summer breeze

[00:04:09] Makes the red poppies dance

[00:04:16] And see how the sun shines from under the clouds

[00:04:25] There's no gas there's no barbed wire

[00:04:28] No guns firing now

[00:04:34] Oh but here in this grave yard

[00:04:37] It's still no man's land

[00:04:43] The countless white crosses stand mute in the sand

[00:04:52] And through man's blind

[00:04:54] Indifference to his fellow man

[00:05:01] To a whole generation

[00:05:04] Who were butchered and damned

[00:05:07] Did they beat the drums slowly

[00:05:09] And play the fife lowly

[00:05:12] Did they sound the death march

[00:05:14] As they lowered you down

[00:05:20] Did the band sound the last post and chorus

[00:05:29] Did they pipe the flowers of the forest

[00:06:06] Did they really believe tat this war could end wars

[00:06:15] Oh the sorrow the suffering the glory the pain

[00:06:24] The killing and dying 'twas all done in vain

[00:06:33] For Willie MacBride oh it happened again

[00:06:42] And again and again and again and again

[00:06:47] Did they beat the drums slowly

[00:06:50] And play the fife lowly

[00:06:53] Did they sound the death march

[00:06:55] As they lowered you down

[00:07:02] Did the band sound the last post and chorus

[00:07:10] Did they pipe the flowers of the forest
