The Green Fields Of France - International Pub Ensemble[00:00:00]

Oh how do you do young Willie McBride [00:00:09]

Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside [00:00:15]

And rest for a while in the warm summer sun [00:00:21]

I've been walking all day and I'm nearly done [00:00:27]

And I see by your gravestone you were only nineteen[00:00:35]

When you joined the great fallen in Nineteen-Sixteen [00:00:41]

Well I hoped you died quick and I hoped you died clean [00:00:48]

Or Willie McBride was it slow and obscene [00:00:54]

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

Did they play the fife lowly [00:01:02]

Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down [00:01:05]

Did the band play the last post in chorus [00:01:13]

Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest [00:01:19]

And Did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind [00:01:29]

In some loyal heart is your memory enshrined [00:01:35]

And though you died back in Nineteen-Sixteen [00:01:41]

To that loyal heart you're forever nineteen [00:01:47]

Or are you a stranger without even a name [00:01:54]

Forever enshrined behind some old glass pane [00:02:00]

In an old photograph torn and tattered and stained [00:02:07]

And fading to yellow in a brown leather frame[00:02:13]

Did they beat the drums slowly [00:02:19]

Did they play the fife lowly [00:02:22]

Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down [00:02:25]

Did the band play the last post in chorus [00:02:32]

Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest [00:02:38]

The sun's shining down on these green fields of France [00:02:49]

The warm wind blows gently and the red poppies dance [00:02:55]

The trenches have vanished long under the plow [00:03:01]

No gas no barbed wire; no guns firing now [00:03:06]

But here in this graveyard that's still no mans land [00:03:14]

The countless white crosses in mute witness stand [00:03:20]

To a man's blind indifference to his fellow man [00:03:27]

And a whole generation were butchered and damned[00:03:33]

Did they beat the drums slowly [00:03:38]

Did they play the fife lowly [00:03:41]

Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down [00:03:44]

Did the band play the last post and chorus [00:03:51]

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

And I can't help but wonder oh Willie McBride [00:04:08]

Do all those that lie here know why they died [00:04:14]

Did you really believe them when they told you the cause [00:04:20]

Did you really believe that this war would end wars [00:04:25]

Well the suffring' the sorrow the glory the shame [00:04:32]

The killing and dying it was all done in vain [00:04:39]

Oh Willie McBride it all happened again [00:04:46]

And again and again and again and again [00:04:52]

Did they beat the drums slowly [00:04:57]

Did they play the fife lowly [00:05:00]

Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down [00:05:03]

Did the band play the last post in chorus [00:05:10]

Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest[00:05:15]
