Flowers Of The Town |
| I’ve heard them lilting at loom and at belting |
| Lasses lilting before dawn of day |
| But now they are silent not gamesome nor gallant |
| The flowers of the town they are all turned away |
| There was laughter and loving in the lanes of an evening |
| Handsome were the boys and the girls they were gay |
| But lost in Flanders by medalled commanders |
| The flowers of the town they are all turned away |
| Cursed be the promise that took our men from us |
| All will be champion if you choose to obey |
| They fought against hunger, now no longer |
| The pride of the man lies as cold as the clay |
| All the women are weary, they’ve lilted so merry |
| Waiting to marry for a year and a day |
| From owning and earning, from wooing and winning |
| The flowers of the town they are all turned away |
| All turned away |
