Where Have The Flowers Gone..

Where have all the flowers gone?
long time passing
Where have all the flowers gone?
long time ago
Where have all the flowers gone?
Girls have picked them every one
when will they ever learn?


Where have all the young girls gone?
long time passing
Where have all the young girls gone?
long time ago
Where have all the young girls gone?
taking husbands every day
when will they ever learn?


Where have all the young men gone?
long time passing
Where have all the young men gone?
long time ago
Where have all the young men gone?
Gone for soldiers every one
when will they ever learn?


Where have all the soldiers gone?
long time passing
Where have all the soldiers gone?
long time ago
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to graveyards every one
when will they ever learn?


Where have all the graveyards gone?
long time passing
Where have all the graveyards gone?
long time ago
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Covered with flowers evey one
When they ever learn?
When they ever learn?


(Peter Seeger, 1961)
