《No Man’s Land(1992 Digital Remaster)》歌词

[00:00:01] No Man's Land (1992 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty

[00:00:06] Well how do you do private william mcbride

[00:00:10] Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside

[00:00:14] I'll rest for awhile neath the warm summer sun

[00:00:18] Been walking all day mate and I'm nearly done

[00:00:23] And I see by your gravestone you're only nineteen

[00:00:28] When you joined the fallen in nineteen sixteen

[00:00:32] Well I hope you died quick and I hope you died clean

[00:00:36] Or willy mcbride was it slow and obscene

[00:00:41] Did they beat the drums slowly

[00:00:44] Did they sound the fife lowly

[00:00:46] Did the rifles fire o'er ye over as they lowered you down

[00:00:51] Did the bugles sing the last post and chorus

[00:00:55] Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest

[00:01:03] Did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind

[00:01:07] In some faithful heart is your memory enshrined

[00:01:11] And though you died back in nineteen sixteen

[00:01:15] To that loyal heart are you always nineteen

[00:01:21] Or are you a stranger without a name

[00:01:25] Forever enshrined behind some glass pane

[00:01:29] In an old photograph torn and tattered and stained

[00:01:33] And fading to yellow in a brown leather frame

[00:01:38] Did they beat the drums slowly

[00:01:41] Did they sound the fife lowly

[00:01:42] Did the rifles fire o'er ye over as they lowered you down

[00:01:48] Did the bugles sing the last post and chorus

[00:01:52] Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest

[00:02:03] And the sun's shining now on these green fields of france

[00:02:07] The warm wind blows gently and the red poppies dance

[00:02:11] The trenches have vanished long under the plough

[00:02:15] No gas and no barb wire no guns firing now

[00:02:21] But here in this graveyard it's still no man's land

[00:02:25] The countless white crosses in mute witness stand

[00:02:29] To man's blind indifference to his fellow man

[00:02:33] And a whole generation who were butchered and damned

[00:02:38] Did they beat the drums slowly

[00:02:40] Did they sound the fife lowly

[00:02:42] Did the rifles fire o'er ye over as they lowered you down

[00:02:47] Did the bugles sing the last post and chorus

[00:02:52] Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest

[00:02:59] And I can't help but wonder now willy mcbride

[00:03:03] Do all those who lie here know why they died

[00:03:07] Did you really believe when they told you the cause

[00:03:11] Did you really believe that this war would end wars

[00:03:17] Well the suffering the sorrow the glory the shame

[00:03:21] The killing and dying was all done in vain

[00:03:25] For young willy mcbride it's all happened again

[00:03:29] And again and again and again and again and again

[00:03:34] Did they beat the drums slowly

[00:03:36] Did they sound the fife lowly

[00:03:38] Did the rifles fire o'er ye over as they lowered you down

[00:03:43] Did the bugles sing the last post and chorus

[00:03:48] Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest

[00:03:53] Did the bugles sing the last post and chorus

[00:03:57] Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest
