Long time ago, said the fine old woman
Long time ago, this proud old woman did say
I had four green fields, each one was a jewel
Then 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 their grief, said she
Long time ago, said this fine old woman
Long time ago, this proud old woman did say
There was war and death, plundering and pillage
My children starved on 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 proud old woman
What have I now? this proud old woman did say
I have four green fields and 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 four green fields will bloom once again, said she
