John McDermott - The Green Fields Of France (Eric Bogle cover)

 

"Ah, young Willie McBride, I can't help wonder why,
Do those that lie here know why did they die
And did they believe when they answered the call
Did they really believe that this war would end war.
For the sorrow, the suffering, the glory, the pain,
The killing, and the dying was all done in vain...
For, young Willie McBride, it all happened again,
and again, and again, and again, and again...."
