Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The green fields of France
Apologies Pat, this thread has dropped to the bottom of the page with no replies.
I just started a Google search using this phrase - Green Fields of France verses in English French and German -
and found this wiki page which, in the Cover versions and recordings section, mentions a version by Eric Fish, in the German version by Hannes Wader
On Hannes Wader's name there is a hyperlink to a wiki article about him.
There are a lot of cover versions listed but some of the names of singers or bands might ring a bell with you.
I have not heard the version you are looking for, but someone here will probably know it.
Eric Bogle and some German lyrics sung by Wachol and composed by Hannes Wader
