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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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