Judy Collins - Wars Of Germany Lyrics
Oh, woe be to the ordersThat marched my love awayAnd woe be to the bitter tearsI shed upon this dayAnd woe be to the bloody warsOf high GermanyFor they've carried off my own true loveLeft a broken heart to bleedThe drums beat in the morningBefore the break of dayAnd the wee, wee pipes played loud and shrillWhile yet the morn was grayAnd the bonnie flags were all unfurledWas a gallant sight to seeBut sorrow for my soldier ladWho marched to GermanyOh, woe be to the ordersThat marched my love awayAnd woe be to the bitter tearsI shed upon this dayAnd woe be to the countryWhere our men are forced to beAnd woe be to the foreign warsThat stole my love from me
