Abridged from the original by Pete Seeger

Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time passing ……

Where have all the young men gone?
Long time passing ……
Gone for soldiers every one
When will they ever learn?

Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time passing …..
Gone to graveyards every one
When will they ever learn?

Where have all the graveyards gone?
Long time passing …..
Covered with flowers every one
When will we ever learn?
