Where Have All the Flowers Gone (Seeger)
Springsteen lyrics (from his We Shall Overcome / Seeger Sessions Tour):
If you love this land of the free
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home
Bring them back from overseas
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home
It’ll make the politicians sad, I know...
They wanna tangle with their foe...
They wanna test their grand theories...
With the blood of you & me...
We'll give no more brave young lives...
For the gleam in someone's eyes...
The men will cheer & the boys will shout...
And we will all turn out...
The church bells will ring with joy...
To welcome our darling girls & boys...
We will lift their voice in song...
When Johnny comes marching home...
Bring 'em home (8x)
