Pete Seeger and Joe Hickerson's, "Where Have All the Flowers Gone"
The Lyrics:
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, everyone.
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Where have all the soldiers gone, long time ago?
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to graveyards, everyone.
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Why:
The song is now a song that describes the sad truths about the circle of life in the War. The song is too upbeat and mellow in a B-flat major setup.
