《The Green Fields of France》歌词

[00:00:00] The Green Fields of France - The Fureys

[00:00:14] Well how do you do young Willy McBride

[00:00:20] Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside

[00:00:27] And rest for a while little warm summer sun

[00:00:32] I've been walking all day and I'm nearly done

[00:00:40] I see by your gravestone your were only nineteen

[00:00:46] When you joined the great falling in nineteen sixteen

[00:00:54] I hope you died well and I hope you died clean

[00:00:59] Or young Willy McBride was it slow and obscene

[00:01:05] Did they beat the drum slowly did they play the fifes lowly

[00:01:11] Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down

[00:01:19] And the bands play the last post and cold as

[00:01:25] And the pipes play the flowers of the forest

[00:01:36] Did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind

[00:01:42] In some faithful heart is your memory enshrined

[00:01:48] All though you died back in nineteen sixteen

[00:01:53] In some faith full heart are you forever nineteen

[00:02:01] Or are you wear stranger without even a name

[00:02:07] And close in forever behind a glass frame

[00:02:14] In an old photograph torn battered and stained

[00:02:20] And fading to yellow in a brown leather frame

[00:02:26] Did they beat the drum slowly did they play the fifes lowly

[00:02:32] Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down

[00:02:40] And the bands play the last post and cold as

[00:02:46] And the pipes play the flowers of the forest

[00:02:56] Oh the sun shines down on the green fields of France

[00:03:02] There's a warm summer breeze it makes the red poppies dance

[00:03:09] And look how the sun shines from under the cloud's

[00:03:14] There's no gas no barbed wire there's no gun firing now

[00:03:22] But here in this graveyard it's still no mans land

[00:03:28] And the countless white crosses stand mute in the sand

[00:03:35] To man's blind indifference to his fellow man

[00:03:41] To a whole generation that were butchered and dammed

[00:03:47] Did they beat the drum slowly did they play that fifes lowly

[00:03:53] Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down

[00:04:01] And the bands play the last post and cold as

[00:04:07] And the pipes play the flowers of the forest

[00:04:17] Now you can way McBride I can't help wonder why

[00:04:23] And does you lie here know why they die

[00:04:30] And did they believe when they answered the calls

[00:04:35] Did they really believe that this war would end wars

[00:04:43] The sorrow the suffering the glory the pained

[00:04:49] And the killing and dying was all done in vain

[00:04:56] For young Willy McBride it all happened again

[00:05:02] And again and again and again and again

[00:05:08] Did they beat the drum slowly did they play that fifes lowly

[00:05:14] Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down

[00:05:22] And the bands play the last post and cold as

[00:05:27] And the pipes play the flowers of the forest

[00:05:34] Did they beat the drum slowly did they play that fifes lowly

[00:05:40] Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down

[00:05:47] And the bands play the last post and cold as

[00:05:53] And the pipes play the flowers of the forest
