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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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