How do you do young willie mcbride [00:00:06]

Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside [00:00:12]

And rest for a while neath the warm summer sun [00:00:17]

I've been walking all day and I'm nearly done [00:00:23]

I see by your gravestone you were only 19 [00:00:30]

When you joined the great fall-in in 1916 [00:00:36]

I hope you died well and I hope you died clean [00:00:43]

Or young willie mcbride was it slow and obscene [00:00:49]

Did they beat the drum slowly did they play the fife lowly [00:00:55]

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

Did the band play the last post and chorus [00:01:07]

Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest [00:01:13]

Did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind [00:01:23]

In some faithful heart is your memory enshrined [00:01:29]

Although you died back in 1916 [00:01:34]

In that faithful heart are you forever 19 [00:01:40]

Or are you a stranger without even a name [00:01:47]

Enclosed then forever behind a glass frame [00:01:53]

In an old photograph torn battered and stained [00:01:59]

And faded to yellow in a brown leather frame [00:02:05]

Did they beat the drum slowly did they play the fife lowly [00:02:11]

Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down [00:02:16]

Did the band play the last post and chorus [00:02:23]

Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest [00:02:29]

The sun now it shines on the green fields of france [00:02:44]

There's a warm summer breeze makes the red poppies dance [00:02:50]

And look how the sun shines from under the clouds [00:02:55]

There's no gas no barbwire there’s no guns firing now [00:03:00]

But here in this graveyard it's still no man's land [00:03:08]

The countless white crosses stand mute in the sand [00:03:13]

To man's blind indifference to his fellow man [00:03:20]

To a whole generation that were butchered and damned [00:03:26]

Did they beat the drum slowly did they play the fife lowly [00:03:31]

Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down [00:03:36]

Did the band play the last post and chorus [00:03:43]

Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest [00:03:49]

Now young willie mcbride I can't help wonder why [00:03:59]

Do those who lie here know why did they die [00:04:05]

Did they believe when they answered the call [00:04:10]

Did they really believe that this war would end wars [00:04:15]

Well the sorrow the suffering the glory the pain [00:04:22]

The killing and the dying were all done in vain [00:04:28]

For young willie mcbride it all happened again [00:04:34]

And again and again and again and again [00:04:40]

Did they beat the drum slowly did they play the fife lowly [00:04:46]

Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down [00:04:51]

Did the band play the last post and chorus [00:04:58]

Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest [00:05:03]

Did they beat the drum slowly did they play the fife lowly [00:05:11]

Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down [00:05:16]

Did the band play the last post and chorus [00:05:23]

Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest [00:05:28]
