Pete Seeger

That the World was better for him living in it is only fair to say
Such sad news out of New York on the radio today
That Pete Seeger the singer songwriter from life has passed away
His songs will live for centuries long after his mortal remains have gone to decay

Some of his song such as 'Turn Turn Turn' and 'Where Have All The Flowers Gone'
In centuries from this day will be living on
The Ed McCurdy song 'Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream' he also helped to glorify
A legend of the World of folk singing to Pete Seeger must apply

As a writer and singer of anti war songs Pete Seeger in a class of his own
In his lifetime he became famous and his songs Worldwide are known
He brought joy to so many so often i hear a Pete Seeger song
Sung in clubs and in bar-rooms and in many a sing along

Suppose life goes on forever and few other things do last
Pete Seeger on his ninety fourth year has died but he left memories of a great folk singing past
One of the World's all time great singer songwriters at peace forever lay
The Human World better for him living in it of him only fair to say.
