Where have all the flowers gone

Long time passin'

Where have all the flowers gone

A long, 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

A long time ago

Where have all the young girls gone

Taken husbands every one

When will they ever learn

When will they ever learn



Where have all the young men gone

Long time passin'

Where have all the young men gone

A long, long time ago

Where have all the young men gone

Gone to soldiers every one

When will they ever learn

When will they ever learn



Where have all the soldiers gone

Long time passin'

Where have all the soldiers gone

Long time ago

Where have all the soldiers gone

Gone to grave yards every one

When will they ever learn

When will they ever learn



Where have all the grave yards gone

Long time passing

Where have all the grave yards gone

A long time ago

Where have all the grave yards gone

Gone to flowers every one

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

A long, 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



Oh, when will they ever learn

Where have all those flowers gone

Ooo, I know those young girls picked them every one

Umm, Where have those soldiers gone

Gone to grave yards every one

Oh, won't they ever learn
