• Brother, Did You Weep?

(Ewan MacColl)

Disc of sun in the belching smoke
Blazing huts where children choke
Burning flesh and blackened blood
Charred and blistered like smouldering wood

Oh brother, oh brother, did you weep
Oh brother, oh brother, can you sleep

Warlike moon in the wounded night
Touching poisoned fields with blight
Showing a ditch where the dead girl lies
Courted by ants and hungry flies

Oh brother, oh brother, did you weep
Oh brother, oh brother, can you sleep

Scream of pain on the morning breeze
Thunder of bombs in the grove of trees
Hymn of rubble and powdered stone
Anguished flesh and splintered bone

Oh brother, oh brother, did you weep
Oh brother, oh brother, can you sleep

Programmed war; efficiency team
Punch cards fed to thinking machines
Computer death and the murder plan
Total destruction of Vietnam

Oh brother, have you got no shame
Oh Jesus, they're killing in my name

Copyright Stormking Music, 1967. Recorded 1972 by Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger on 'Black and White' COOK CD 038.

The sleeve notes read:

When the Folksingers for Vietnam was formed, a number of singer-songwriters wrote songs about the war and our involvement in it. Ewan wrote many, of which this was the most popular.
