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
