On the question of the song name and marje's post: the lazy singers who refer to the song as green fields of france would have to include eric bogle himself. The Fureys changed the title when they brought the song out in America ( as well as making some poor changes,imho, to the words).

EB has commented on this in his introduction a couple of the times I have seen him and to paraphraase said " If the royalties keep coming I don't care what it gets called"

On the theme of "Flooers o' the forest" ( as Bogle wrote and sings) another song with a very similar sentiment is   " The ladies go Dancing at Whitsun"
