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 everyone.
Oh, when will you ever learn?
Oh, when will you 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?
They’ve taken husbands everyone.
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they 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?
They’re all in uniform.
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they ever learn?

Remembrance day is here again. This song is old as old can be and it still true to this date. When will we ever learn?
I once owned all their albums – not sure where they are now. I love them. And I so love the photos set to the piece. Very nice, P! ❤
Really? You can always find him in YouTube. Thank you, Tk.
They’re great! Thank you for reminding me of them! 🙂
I tried and failed to comment here earlier, but WordPress was kind enough to send me a failure notice. Anyway…
Looks like we need to be careful not to date ourselves too harshly by these comments. I was a married lady with children during these days. Let’s also remember Peter, Paul and Mary and the Seekers too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRg9NkIdjVs
Good advice at the time and good advice now.
Thank you. Ecclesiastes is full of wisdom the Seekers are wise enough to make a song out of this. Thank you.
Good post Seeker, I have not heard this for a long time.
GM, your welcome. Time for you to hit the guitar and start singing this tune. K?
🙂 This brought a great smile to me this morning ~ such a great photo & song. Nothing as important as learning…and it seems we are all so bad at it (governments in particular). Take care and enjoy the coming week!
What is it that governments get a bad rap when we the people are the ones that voted for them. Darn. Thanks for dropping by.
One of my fav songs!
Hard to watch the video…
Yes. It’s very educational and historical though.
Agree…
Very good. This song is an excellent reminder of what is important.
Thank you.
