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 have picked them everyone.
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, 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 for husbands everyone.
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Where have all the husbands gone, long time passing?
Where have all the husbands gone, long time ago?
Where have all the husbands gone?
Gone for soldiers everyone
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, 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, everyone.
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, 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 to flowers, everyone.
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they ever learn?
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 have picked them everyone.
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they ever learn?

I was drafted in July 66, survived Viet Nam War and listened to the great folk songs and protest music, it’s 2024 and time to bring back Barry Maguire Bob Dylan Joan Biaz PP and M etc, their messages are still relevant

One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard, and the band could not sound better!!!!

I have been a soldier forover 40 years and seen death, destruction, pain, suffering and sorrow. This song breaks my heart to relive those moments. Even today we witness the senseless suffering, death and sorrow. This song is so beautifully delivered that one wonders at the senseless brutality of humans. When will they ever learn. When

So true those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Seems we still haven't learnt.

From 1959 to 1962 I lived in Westminster, CA and heard songs like this, the lemon song, monster mash, Michael Row your boat, the twist, if I had a hammer and more, all on the radio, and all before anybody ever heard of the Beatles. Folk music was my first love and still makes me smile today.

70 years old and lived thru it all...such a beautiful song I still shed tears..
-
I am 80 now and really miss the folk music of the '60s and '70s. Peter Paul and Mary, The Kingston Trio, The Limelighters, Joan Baez, Judy Blue Eyes and all the great performers of that era... Wasn' t that a time.
-
Such talent, anthem of a generation. History repeats, but without the music.
-
Peter Paul and Mary captivated the spirit of the 1960s like no other. We had so much hope then. What happened? I miss Mary terribly, but I’m glad she’s at rest so she doesn’t have to see our nation like this.
-
God bless peter Paul and R.I.P.Mary
-
"When will they ever learn"... very apt for this day and age! Beautiful meaningful song!
-
I was born in 1958; I remember listening to Peter, Paul, & Mary. Great folk music from a great generation. My grown sons have said I grew up in a time with the best music. I agree!! 😊

Makes me think of of my mom and dad! I love you! ❤️ RIP Mom!
