The Green Fields of France (No Man’s Land)
Oh how do you do, young Willie McBride Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside? And rest for a while in the warm summer sun I’ve been walking all day, and I’m nearly done
And I see by your gravestone you were only nineteen When you joined the great fallen in 1916 Well, I hope you died quick, and I hope you died clean Oh Willie McBride, was is it slow and obscene?
Did they beat the drums slowly? Did they play the fife lowly? Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down? Did the band play the last post and chorus? Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest?
And did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind? In some loyal heart is your memory enshrined? And though you died back in 1916 To that loyal heart you’re forever nineteen
Or are you a stranger without even a name? Forever enshrined behind some old glass pane In an old photograph torn, tattered, and stained And faded to yellow in a brown leather frame
Did they beat the drums slowly? Did they play the fife lowly? Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down? Did the band play the last post and chorus? Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest?
The sun shining down on these green fields of France The warm wind blows gently and the red poppies dance The trenches have vanished long under the plow No gas, no barbed wire, no guns firing now
But here in this graveyard that’s still no man’s land The countless white crosses in mute witness stand To man’s blind indifference to his fellow man And a whole generation were butchered and damned
Did they beat the drums slowly? Did they play the fife lowly? Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down? Did the band play the last post and chorus? Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest?
And I can’t help but wonder, oh Willie McBride Do all those who lie here know why they died? Did you really believe them when they told you the cause? Did you really believe that this war would end wars?
Well, the suffering, the sorrow, the glory, the shame The killing and dying it was all done in vain Oh Willie McBride, it all happened again And again, and again, and again, and again
Did they beat the drums slowly? Did they play the fife lowly? Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down? Did the band play the last post and chorus? Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest?
