Thread Name: Traditional Irish Patriotic Songs
Subject: RE: Traditional Irish Patriotic Songs
I always found 4 green fields an especially chilling song - much more so than something like Sean south or Boys of the Old Brigade, Come out you black and tansetc. Its that promise in the last verse that the sons will have sons and the fight and the bloodletting will go on to return the four green fields (apparently whether the Paisleyite inhabitants want to be returned or not!). Anyway don't lets get into that.

Its a new year . peace and goodwill to all, and lets hope this is the year they sort it out and bring us all peace everlasting.
