Well how do you do private william mcbride
Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside?
Ill rest for awhile in the warm summer sun
Ive been walking all day and Im nearly done
And I see by your gravestone you were only 19
When you joined the glorious fallen in 1916
And I hope you died quick and I hope you died clean
Or william mcbride was it slow and obscene?
Chorus:
Did they beat the drum slowly, did they sound the pipes lowly?
Did the rifles fire oer you as they lowered you down?
Did the bugle play the last post and chorus?
Did the pipes play the flowers o the forest?
Well the sun it shines now on these green fields of france
The warm wind blows gently and the red poppies dance
The trenches have vanished now under the plow
No gas and no barbed wire, no guns fire now
For here in this graveyard its still no mans land
And the countless white crosses in mute witness stand
To mans blind indifference to his fellow man
And a whole generation who butchered and damned
(chorus)
Well I cant help but wonder now, willie mcbride
Do all those who lie here know just why they died?
Did you really believe them when they told you the cause?
Did you really believe this war would end all wars?
But the suffering the sorrow the glory the shame
The killing, the dying, it was all done in vain
For william mcbride its all happened again
And again and again and again and again.
(chorus)
Peter, Paul and Mary is an American folk music trio formed in 1960 in New York City. Composed of Peter Yarrow, Paul Stookey, and Mary Travers, the group rose to fame in the 1960s for their folk-rock music, often featuring politically and socially conscious lyrics. Among their most notable hits are "If I Had a Hammer", "Blowin' in the Wind" (a cover of Bob Dylan), and "Leaving on a Jet Plane". Peter, Paul and Mary participated in numerous events for the American civil rights movement, such as the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963. Their musical style influenced generations of folk and rock artists, contributing to the spread of folk music throughout the United States and the world. After a hiatus in the 1970s, the group reunited on several occasions for concerts and recordings until 2018, when Mary Travers passed away.
