No Man's Land (1992 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty[00:00:01]

Well how do you do private william mcbride[00:00:06]

Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside[00:00:10]

I'll rest for awhile neath the warm summer sun[00:00:14]

Been walking all day mate and I'm nearly done[00:00:18]

And I see by your gravestone you're only nineteen[00:00:23]

When you joined the fallen in nineteen sixteen[00:00:28]

Well I hope you died quick and I hope you died clean[00:00:32]

Or willy mcbride was it slow and obscene[00:00:36]

Did they beat the drums slowly[00:00:41]

Did they sound the fife lowly[00:00:44]

Did the rifles fire o'er ye over as they lowered you down[00:00:46]

Did the bugles sing the last post and chorus[00:00:51]

Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest[00:00:55]

Did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind[00:01:03]

In some faithful heart is your memory enshrined[00:01:07]

And though you died back in nineteen sixteen[00:01:11]

To that loyal heart are you always nineteen[00:01:15]

Or are you a stranger without a name[00:01:21]

Forever enshrined behind some glass pane[00:01:25]

In an old photograph torn and tattered and stained[00:01:29]

And fading to yellow in a brown leather frame[00:01:33]

Did they beat the drums slowly[00:01:38]

Did they sound the fife lowly[00:01:41]

Did the rifles fire o'er ye over as they lowered you down[00:01:42]

Did the bugles sing the last post and chorus[00:01:48]

Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest[00:01:52]

And the sun's shining now on these green fields of france[00:02:03]

The warm wind blows gently and the red poppies dance[00:02:07]

The trenches have vanished long under the plough[00:02:11]

No gas and no barb wire no guns firing now[00:02:15]

But here in this graveyard it's still no man's land[00:02:21]

The countless white crosses in mute witness stand[00:02:25]

To man's blind indifference to his fellow man[00:02:29]

And a whole generation who were butchered and damned[00:02:33]

Did they beat the drums slowly[00:02:38]

Did they sound the fife lowly[00:02:40]

Did the rifles fire o'er ye over as they lowered you down[00:02:42]

Did the bugles sing the last post and chorus[00:02:47]

Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest[00:02:52]

And I can't help but wonder now willy mcbride[00:02:59]

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

Did you really believe when they told you the cause[00:03:07]

Did you really believe that this war would end wars[00:03:11]

Well the suffering the sorrow the glory the shame[00:03:17]

The killing and dying was all done in vain[00:03:21]

For young willy mcbride it's all happened again[00:03:25]

And again and again and again and again and again[00:03:29]

Did they beat the drums slowly[00:03:34]

Did they sound the fife lowly[00:03:36]

Did the rifles fire o'er ye over as they lowered you down[00:03:38]

Did the bugles sing the last post and chorus[00:03:43]

Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest[00:03:48]

Did the bugles sing the last post and chorus[00:03:53]

Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest[00:03:57]
