《Where Have All The Flowers Gone》,中文译为《花儿都到哪里去了?》,是美国民歌歌手Pete Seeger(皮特•西格)创作的一首歌曲。
Seeger创作此歌的灵感产生于1955年前往俄亥俄州开演唱会的飞机上。当时他在手边的笔记本上写下“Where have all the flowers gone? Gone to young girls, every one!”,“Where have all the young girls gone? Gone to young men, every one!”,“Where have all the young men gone? Gone to soldiers, every one!”。这些歌词来自于Seeger在一至两年前读过的俄罗斯长篇小说《静静的顿河》(1934年)里面的哥萨克民歌。
Seeger将他写的前三段歌词配上了一首俄罗斯民谣的曲调,录进了他1960年7月的专辑《The Rainbow Quest》中的一首集成曲(medley)里面,然后就忘记了。Joe Hickerson(乔•西克森)在1960年5月续写了后面的歌词,让这首歌成为了一首可以循环演唱的歌曲。
