Half A Crown

Violets roses and daffodils

Just take a bunch

For your window sill

Buy you some flowers

And watch the world change

Flowers make your heart free

They'll bring back love

Wait and see

Won't somebody buy

Won't somebody buy

Won't somebody take a flower

There only half a crown

I've walked these streets

All of my years

I know their laughter

I know their tears

I hold their joys

And shared all their fears

I walk these streets

Through the hours

Asking the world

To buy my flowers

Won't somebody buy

Won't somebody buy

Won't somebody take a flower

There only half a crown

I had a love

Long long ago

He needed me

And I loved him so

He marched away

To die by the gun

I lay a rose as I pass

Where he lies cold

Under the sun

Violets roses and daffodils

Just take a bunch

For the window sill

Buy you some flowers

And watch the world change

Flowers make the world free

They'll bring back love

Wait and see

Won't somebode buy

Won't somebody buy
