《Green Fields Of France》歌词

[00:00:00] Well how do you do young Willie Mcbride

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

[00:00:11] And rest for a while 'neath the warm summer sun

[00:00:16] I've been working all day and I'm nearly done

[00:00:23] I see by your gravestone you were only 19

[00:00:28] When you joined the great fallen in 1916

[00:00:35] I hope you died well and I hope you died clean

[00:00:40] Or young Willie Mcbride was it slow and obscene

[00:00:45] Did they beat the drum slowly did they play the fife lowly

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

[00:00:57] Did the band play the last post and chorus

[00:01:02] Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest

[00:01:12] Did you leave for a wife or a sweetheart behind

[00:01:17] In some faithful heart is your memory enshrined

[00:01:23] Although you died back in 1916

[00:01:28] In some faithful heart you are forever 19

[00:01:35] Or are you a stranger without even a name

[00:01:40] Enclosed in forever behind a glass frame

[00:01:46] In an old photograph torn and battered and stained

[00:01:52] And faded to yellow in brown leather frame

[00:01:57] Did they beat the drum slowly did they play the fife lowly

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

[00:02:08] Did the band play the last post and chorus

[00:02:13] Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest

[00:02:23] The sun now it shines on the green fields of France

[00:02:28] There's a warm summer breeze makes the red poppies dance

[00:02:34] And look how the sun shines from under the clouds

[00:02:39] There's no gas or barbed wire there's no gun firing now

[00:02:46] But here in the graveyard it's still no man's land

[00:02:51] The countless white crosses stand mute in the sand

[00:02:57] To man's blind indifference to his fellow man

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

[00:03:09] Did they beat the drum slowly did they play the fife lowly

[00:03:15] Did they sound the dead march as they lowered you down

[00:03:21] Did the band play the last post and chorus

[00:03:26] Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest

[00:03:35] Now young Willie Mcbride I can't help wonder why

[00:03:41] Do all those who lie here know why they died

[00:03:46] And did they believe when they answered the call

[00:03:51] Did they really believe that this war would end wars

[00:03:58] All the sorrow the suffer the glory and pray

[00:04:03] They killing and dying were all down the face

[00:04:09] For young Willie Mcbride it all happens again

[00:04:14] And again and again and again and again

[00:04:19] Did they beat the drum slowly did they play the fife lowly

[00:04:25] Did they sound the dead march as they lowered you down

[00:04:31] Did the band play the last post and chorus

[00:04:36] Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest
