22 Jul 02 - 10:06 AM (#752371) Subject: RE: trouble in the fields From: Murray MacLeod 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. Murray |

Is that right? And if so, someone explain it to me please. I've heard it time and again, and it's a terrific song - but it's only just occurred to me that I haven't a clue what that bit means. |

Did they have "gnus" on Western farms maybe? (Well, there used to be camels in Arizona one time I seem to remember.) |

Google that or www.e-tabs.org/tab/nanci_griffith/trouble_in_the_fields Google that or click here. I hope that is the right song. BTW, note the title and co-authorship. |
