Subject: RE: trouble in the fields
Some years since I last heard this, but I have the feeling that the second line in the lyrics above is not exactly as I remember it.

"When the bankers swarm like locust out there turning away our yield"

Can anybody confirm that these are the correct words ? I am thinking of the version as recorded on "A Woman's Heart", by, if I remember rightly, Maura O'Connell.
