Als ge van ze leven in de westhoek passeert
Deur regen en noorderwinden
Keert onze den tijd als g' alhier passeert
Den oorlog ga j' hier were vinden
Ja 't is den oorlog da 'j hier were vindt
En 't graf van duizend soldaten
Altijd iemands vader altijd iemands kind
Nu doodstil en godverlaten
Laat de bomen nu maar zwijgen en dat 't gras niets verteld
En de wind moet 't ook maar nie zingen
Dat julder'n dood tot niets hè geteld
Dat waren al te schik'lijke dingen
Zeg 't gaat al goed der is welvaart in 't land
En de vrede ligt vast in de wetten
We maken wel wapens maar met veel meer verstand
Maar just om den oorlog te beletten
En grote raketten atoom in den top
We meugen toch experimenteren
We mikken wel ne keer naar mekaar zijne kop
Maar just om ons 't amuseren
Als ge van ze leven in de westhoek passeert
Deur regen en noorderwinden
Keert omme den tijd als g' alhier passeert
Den oorlog ga j' hier were vinden
Ja 't is den oorlog da 'j hier were vindt
En 't graf van duizend soldaten
Altijd iemands vader altijd iemands kind
Duizend en duizend soldaten (3x)
