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, they fought to save my jewels |
| They fought and 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 have sons, as brave as were their fathers |
| My fourth green field will bloom once again» said she |
