• I Wish the Wars Were All Over

Early one morning when pearly with dew
I saw a fair maiden pluck violets so blue
And the song that she sang made all the woods ring
‘O my love is in Flanders to fight for the King
And I wish that the wars were all over
And I wish that the wars were all done

I stepped up to her and made this reply
I said my fair maiden what, makes you to cry
Well my Billy’s gone from me, I love him so dear
And the French they will kill him, so great is my fear
And I wish that the wars were all over
And I wish that the wars were all done

I’ll pluck these red roses so fine and so gay
Yet I have my own flower – but he’s far away
And his jacket is red, like the robin’s red breast
But I fear that those bullets paint roses on his chest
And I wish that the wars were all over

Ten thousands of bluebells now welcome the spring
O but when will the church-bells for victory ring?
And the soldiers come home, and the people rejoice
And then I’ll be wed to the lad of my choice
And I wish that the wars were all over
