《Green Fields Of France》歌词

[00:00:00] Green Fields Of France - The High Kings

[00:00:10] Well how do you do young Willy McBride

[00:00:15] Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside

[00:00:21] And rest for a while 'neath the warm summer sun

[00:00:26] I've been walking all day and I'm nearly done

[00:00:33] I see by your gravestone you were only nineteen

[00:00:38] When you joined the great fallen in nineteen-sixteen

[00:00:45] I hope you died well

[00:00:47] And I hope you died clean

[00:00:50] Oh young Willy McBride was is it slow and obscene

[00:00:56] Did they beat the drums slowly

[00:00:58] Did they play the fife lowly

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

[00:01:04] They lowered you down

[00:01:08] Did the band play the Last Post in chorus

[00:01:13] Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest

[00:01:22] Did you leave here a wife or a sweetheart behind

[00:01:28] In some faithful heart is your memory enshrined

[00:01:33] Although you died back in nineteen-sixteen

[00:01:38] In that faithful heart are you forever nineteen

[00:01:45] Or are you a stranger without even a name

[00:01:50] Enclosed then forever behind a glass pane

[00:01:57] In an old photograph torn battered and stained

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

[00:02:07] Did they beat the drums slowly

[00:02:10] Did they play the fife lowly

[00:02:13] Did they sound the death march as

[00:02:16] They lowered you down

[00:02:20] Did the band play the Last Post in chorus

[00:02:24] Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest

[00:02:35] The sun now shines o'er the green fields of France

[00:02:39] There's a warm summer breeze

[00:02:42] That makes the red poppies dance

[00:02:45] And look how the sun shines from under the clouds

[00:02:50] There's no gas no barbed wire there's no gun firing now

[00:02:57] But here in this graveyard it's still No Man's Land

[00:03:02] The countless white crosses stand mute in the sand

[00:03:09] To man's blind indifference to his fellow man

[00:03:14] To a whole generation that were butchered and damned

[00:03:20] Did they beat the drums slowly

[00:03:22] Did they play the fife lowly

[00:03:25] Did they sound the death march as

[00:03:28] They lowered you down

[00:03:32] Did the band play the Last Post in chorus

[00:03:36] Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest

[00:03:51] Now young Willy McBride I can't help but wonder why

[00:03:57] Do those that lie here know why they died

[00:04:02] And did they believe when they answered the call

[00:04:07] Did they really believe that this war would end wars

[00:04:14] For the sorrow the suffering the glory the shame

[00:04:19] The killing and dying were all done in vain

[00:04:26] For young Willy McBride it all happened again

[00:04:31] And again and again and again and again

[00:04:37] Did they beat the drums slowly

[00:04:39] Did they play the fife lowly

[00:04:42] Did they sound the death march as

[00:04:45] They lowered you down

[00:04:49] Did the band play the Last Post in chorus

[00:04:54] Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest

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

[00:05:02] Did they play the fife lowly

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

[00:05:07] They lowered you down

[00:05:11] Did the band play the Last Post in chorus

[00:05:17] Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest
