Joan Baez - Where Have All the Flowers Gone (Cover)

My new cover song ‘Where Have All the Flowers Gone’. This lovely song was written by Pete Seeger in 1955 who borrowed the melody from a traditional Irish folk song. The lyrics are clearly condemning war and the lines were taken from a Ukrainian folk song called ‘Koloda-Duda’. Joan Baez originally sang the German version of this song called ‘Sagt Mir Wo Die Blumen Sind’ in 1965 which is featured on her album ‘Farewell, Angelina’ (one of my favourite albums of hers). I am not sure why she covered a German version of this song; I tried looking it up but didn’t get a conclusive answer. Maybe it was to flex her language skills lol. She eventually covered the English version in 1967 and featured it on her album ‘Joan Baez in Italy’. Anyway, this song was really lovely to learn and play and I hope you enjoy my cover!

Lyrics:
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the flowers gone?
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?
Long time ago
Where have all the young girls gone?
Gone to young boys every one
When will they ever learn?
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 are all in uniform
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to graveyards every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Gone with flowers every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
