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 died, 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 strangers hands, that tried to take it from me

But my sons have sons, as brave as were there fathers

My fourth green field, will bloom once again said she.
