Four Green Fields
The Dubliners

'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 wailing cries

They reached the very heavens.

And 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 strangers' hands,

That try to take it from me.

But my sons have sons

As brave as were their fathers.

And my four green fields

Will bloom once again', said she.

And my four green fields

Will bloom once again', said she.
