The davitts - Four green fields lyrics

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 j**el But strangers came and tried to take them from me I had fine strong sons, who fought to save my j**els 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 d**h, 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
