Where Have All the Flowers Gone?

Written by Pete Seeger, 1961

Originally sung by The Kingston Trio, 1962



Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time passing.
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time ago.

Where have all the flowers gone?
Gone to young girls every one.
Oh, 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.
Oh, when will you ever learn?
When will you ever learn?

Where have all the young men gone?
Long time passing.
Where have all the young men gone?
Long time ago.

Where have all the young men gone?
Gone to soldiers, every one.
Oh, when will you ever learn?
When will you ever learn?

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, every one.
Oh, when will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where have all the graveyards gone?
Long time passing.
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Long time ago.
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Gone to flowers, every one.
Oh, when will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time passing.
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time ago.
Where have all the flowers gone?
Gone to young girls, every one.
Oh, when will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

animated heart
I send you love.
