A song about the remembrance of World War I. Mostly in Commonwealth countries, Remembrance Day, also known as Poppy Day, is the day the casualties of World War I are remembered.
[Verse 1]
On your maypole green
See the winding morris men
Angry Alfie, Bill and Ken
Waving hankies, sticks and boots
All the earth and roots
[Verse 2]
Standing at the crease
The batsman takes a look around
The boys are fielding on home ground
The steeple sharp against the blue
When I think of you
[Pre-Chorus]
Sam and Andy, Jack and John
Charlie, Martin, Jamie, Ron
Harry, Stephen, Will and Don
Matthew, Michael
On and on
[Chorus]
We will remember them
Remember them, remember them
We will remember them
Remember them, remember them
[Verse 3]
Time has slipped away
The summer sky to autumn yields
A haze of smoke across the fields
Let's up and fight another round
And walk the stubbled ground
[Verse 4]
When November brings
The poppies on Remembrance Day
When the vicar comes to say
'May God bless them, every one
Lest we forget our sons'
[Chorus]
We will remember them
Remember them, remember them
We will remember them
Remember them, remember them
[Chorus]
We will remember them
Remember them, remember them
We will remember them
Remember them, remember them
