《The Green Fields of France》歌词

[00:05:36] There's a warm summer breeze makes the red poppys dance

[00:05:36] As the sunlight shines on the green fields of France

[00:05:36] Well, how do you do, young Willie McBride,

[00:05:36] Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside?

[00:05:36] And rest for a while 'neath the warm summer sun,

[00:05:36] I've been walking all day, and I'm nearly done.

[00:05:36] I see by your gravestone you were only 19

[00:05:36] When you joined the great fallen in 1916,

[00:05:36] I hope you died well and I hope you died clean

[00:05:36] And, young Willie McBride, was it slow and obscene?

[00:05:36] Did they beat the drum slowly, did the sound the pipe lowly?

[00:05:36] Did they sound the dead-march as they lowered you down.

[00:05:36] And did the band play the Last Post and chorus,

[00:05:36] Did the pipes play the 'Flooers o' the Forest'.

[00:05:36] And did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind?

[00:05:36] In some faithful heart is your memory enshrined?

[00:05:36] Although you died back in 1916

[00:05:36] In some faithful heart you're forever 19

[00:05:36] Or are you a stranger without even a name?

[00:05:36] Enclosed and forever behind the glass frame

[00:05:36] In a old photograph, torn and battered and stained

[00:05:36] And faded to yellow in a brown leather frame.

[00:05:36] Did they beat the drum slowly, did the sound the pipe lowly?

[00:05:36] Did they sound the dead-march as they lowered you down.

[00:05:36] And did the band play the Last Post and chorus,

[00:05:36] Did the pipes play the 'Flooers o' the Forest'.

[00:05:36] Now young Willie McBride I can't help wonder why

[00:05:36] Do all those who lie here know why they died

[00:05:36] And did they believe when they answered the cause

[00:05:36] Did they really believe that this war would end wars

[00:05:36] Well the sorrow, the suffering, the glory, the pain

[00:05:36] The killing and dying was all done in vain

[00:05:36] For young Willie McBride it all happened again

[00:05:36] And again, and again, and again, and again.

[00:05:36] Did they beat the drum slowly, did the sound the pipe lowly?

[00:05:36] Did they sound the dead-march as they lowered you down.

[00:05:36] And did the band play the Last Post and chorus,

[00:05:36] Did the pipes play the 'Flooers o' the Forest'.

[00:05:36] Did they beat the drum slowly, did the sound the pipe lowly?

[00:05:36] Did they sound the dead-march as they lowered you down.

[00:05:36] Did the band play the Last Post and chorus,

[00:05:36] Did the pipes play the 'Flooers o' the Forest'.
