《The Green Fields Of France》歌词

[00:00:06] How do you do young willie mcbride

[00:00:12] Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside

[00:00:17] And rest for a while neath the warm summer sun

[00:00:23] I've been walking all day and I'm nearly done

[00:00:30] I see by your gravestone you were only 19

[00:00:36] When you joined the great fall-in in 1916

[00:00:43] I hope you died well and I hope you died clean

[00:00:49] Or young willie mcbride was it slow and obscene

[00:00:55] Did they beat the drum slowly did they play the fife lowly

[00:01:01] Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down

[00:01:07] Did the band play the last post and chorus

[00:01:13] Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest

[00:01:23] Did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind

[00:01:29] In some faithful heart is your memory enshrined

[00:01:34] Although you died back in 1916

[00:01:40] In that faithful heart are you forever 19

[00:01:47] Or are you a stranger without even a name

[00:01:53] Enclosed then forever behind a glass frame

[00:01:59] In an old photograph torn battered and stained

[00:02:05] And faded to yellow in a brown leather frame

[00:02:11] Did they beat the drum slowly did they play the fife lowly

[00:02:16] Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down

[00:02:23] Did the band play the last post and chorus

[00:02:29] Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest

[00:02:44] The sun now it shines on the green fields of france

[00:02:50] There's a warm summer breeze makes the red poppies dance

[00:02:55] And look how the sun shines from under the clouds

[00:03:00] There's no gas no barbwire there’s no guns firing now

[00:03:08] But here in this graveyard it's still no man's land

[00:03:13] The countless white crosses stand mute in the sand

[00:03:20] To man's blind indifference to his fellow man

[00:03:26] To a whole generation that were butchered and damned

[00:03:31] Did they beat the drum slowly did they play the fife lowly

[00:03:36] Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down

[00:03:43] Did the band play the last post and chorus

[00:03:49] Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest

[00:03:59] Now young willie mcbride I can't help wonder why

[00:04:05] Do those who lie here know why did they die

[00:04:10] Did they believe when they answered the call

[00:04:15] Did they really believe that this war would end wars

[00:04:22] Well the sorrow the suffering the glory the pain

[00:04:28] The killing and the dying were all done in vain

[00:04:34] For young willie mcbride it all happened again

[00:04:40] And again and again and again and again

[00:04:46] Did they beat the drum slowly did they play the fife lowly

[00:04:51] Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down

[00:04:58] Did the band play the last post and chorus

[00:05:03] Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest

[00:05:11] Did they beat the drum slowly did they play the fife lowly

[00:05:16] Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down

[00:05:23] Did the band play the last post and chorus

[00:05:28] Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest
