Where have all the flowers gone?

Long time passing.

Where have all the flowers gone?

Long time ago.

Where have all the flowers gone?

The girls have picked them ev'ry one.

Oh, When will you ever learn?

Oh, When will you ever learn?



young girls

They've taken husbands ev'ry one.



young men

They're all in uniform.



soldiers

They've gone to graveyards ev'ry one.



graveyards

They're covered with flowers ev'ry one.

Young girls have picked them ev'ry one.

Written by Peter Seeger. Copyright 1961 and 1977 by Fall River

Music, Inc. The song was inspired by a passage from Mikhail

Sholokhov's novel "And Quiet Flows the Don" with additional

verses by Joe Hickerson.



The song made its greatest impact in Germany, translated into

German and sung by Marlene Dietrich. The combination of the

language and the setting had a shattering effect on those who

heard it.
