Long long ago, in China I'm told
To England was traded some tea
And so sealed the fate in pieces of eight
All England and all of the worldYeah, poppiesWhen soon his majesty sent soldiers and thieves
To India searching for gold instead from the ground
Some magic they found
Something far better I'm toldYeah, poppies
Yeah, poppiesAnd now this story told from days of our own
When gossamer doggies ran ran
They'd patiently wait with pieces of eight
So everybody could smile one more timeYeah, poppies
Yeah, poppies
Enjoy the lyrics !!!
