| Lyrics: | 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
I had fine strong sons, who 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 sea
And their wailing cries, they
shook the very heavens
My four green fields ran 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 have
four green fields, one of them's in bondage
In stranger's hands, that tried to take it from
me
But my sons had sons, as brave as were their fathers
My fourth green field will bloom
once again said she
______
The fields are provinces of Ireland.
