I REMEMBER THIS MINOR ROUND AS GOING LIKE THIS:

EVERYONE 'NEATH THE VINE AND FIG TREE SHALL LIVE IN PEACE AND HARMONY (REPEAT)

AND INTO PLOW SHARES TURN THEIR SWORDS NATIONS SHALL LEARN WAR NO MORE (REPEAT)

ANY ONE ELSE KNOW IT? ANY CORRECTIONS?

There's another translation.

VINE AND FIG TREE
(English words by Shalom Altman. The words to this simple round come from the Bible)

And ev'ry man 'neath his vine and fig tree,
Sall live in peace and unafraid.

And into plough shares turn their swords,
nations shall learn war no more.
