Four Green Fields
What did I have said the fine old woman What
did I have this proud old woman did say I had four green fields each one was a jewel But strangers came and tried to
take them from me But my fine strong sons they fought to save my jewels They fought and they died and that was my grief
said she
Long time ago said the fine old woman Long time ago this proud old woman did say There was war and death
plundering and pillage My children starved by mountain, valley and stream And their wailling cries they reach the very
heavens And my four green fields ran thran red with their blood said she
What have I now said the fine old woman What
have I now this proud old woman did say I ahve four green fields one of them in bondage In strangers' hands that tried
to take it from me But my sons have sons as brave as their fathers And my four green fields will bloom once again said
she
And my four green fields will bloom once again said she
