Pappy Fiddle Origins: 'Where Have All the Flowers Gone?' (63* d) RE: Origins: 'Where Have All the Flowers Gone?' 28 Nov 24


My fingers are twitching, isn't anyone going to post the full-circle lyrics?

OK, for the sake of archival completeness, here we go. I got these off some website, altho I remember the words; just didn't want to type all that. For the sake of historical completeness, I include after the 3rd verse some foo-foo the website injected.

Where Have All 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? Young girls picked them, every one When will they ever learn? 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? Gone to young men, every one When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?

=========
For me, these revolving stanzas summarize most of history. You folks on Saturn reading this must think we humans see war as an enjoyable thing, the way we keep wallowing in it. And don't even ask why we tolerate so much advertizing.
