The Green Fields Of France - The Fureys,Mundy
Well how do you do young Willy mc bride Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside And rest for a while in the warm summer sun I'vebeen walking all day and I'mnearly done I see by your gravestone your were only nineteen When you joined the great falling in nineteen sixteen Well I hope you died well and I hope you died clean Or young Willy mc bride was it slow and obscene Did they beat the drum slowly did they played the fifes lowly Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down Did the band play the last post and chorus Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest Did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind In some faithful heart is your memory enshrined And though you died back in nineteen fifteen In some faith full heart are you forever nineteen Or are you a stranger without even a name Enshrined forever behind a glass frame In an old photograph torn battered and stained And fading to yellow in a brown leather frame Did they beat the drum slowly did they played the fifes lowly Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down Did the band play the last post and chorus Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest Well the sun now it shines on the green fields of France There'sa warm summer breeze it makes the red poppies dance And look how the sun shines from under the clouds There'sno gas no barbed wire there'sno gun firing now But here in this graveyard it'sstill no man'sland The countless white crosses stand mute in the sand To man'sblind indifference to his fellow man To a whole generation that were butchered and dammed Did they beat the drum slowly did they plaed the fifes lowly Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down Did the band play the last post and chorus Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest Well Willy mc bride I can'thelp wonder why Do those that lie here know why did they die And did they believe when they answered the call Did they really believe that this war would end war Well the sorrow the suffering the glory the pain The killing the dying was all done in vain For young Willy mc bride it all happened again And again and again and again and again Did they beat the drum slowly did they played the fifes lowly Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down Did the band play the last post and chorus Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest Did they beat the drum slowly did they played the fifes lowly Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down Did the band play the last post and chorus Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest Guitar score
