Where Have All the Flowers Gone



Where have all the flowers gone
How long would we keep asking
Where have all the spring bees gone
To search out all the flowers 

How long would we keep asking 
We still fight with each other 
To search out all the flowers 
Where have all the lovers gone 

We still fight with each other
Scavengers are all alert
Where have all the lovers gone
On selling their golden hearts

Scavengers are all alert
When men will die and decay
On selling their golden hearts
They would fight to fill the graves

When men will die and decay 
There would be mourning in air
They would fight to fill the graves
All young girls would be widowed 

There would be mourning in air
How long would we keep asking 
All young girls would be widowed 
How long would we keep asking 

How long would we keep asking 
Where have all the spring bees gone 
How long would we keep asking 
Where have all the flowers gone

Great choice for the contest Anindya, I ahve heard of this song or artist though.. Is it just one song or a number of titles?

Yes, it is a single number. Pete has many popular numbers like, "We shall overcome", "Guantanamera" etc. Thanks for reading. Warm regards, Bobby
