Karaoké 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
