Kathleen McCready, famous as Kathleen Largey and the voice of The Flying Column, one of the finest ballad singers in Belfast.
Four Green Fields
What did I have, said the fine old woman What did I have, this proud old woman did say I had four green fields, each one was a jewel But strangers came and tried to take them from me But my fine strong sons, they fought to save my jewels They fought and they died, and that was my grief said she
Long time ago, said the fine old woman Long time ago, this proud old woman did say There was war and death, plundering and pillage My children starved, by mountain, valley and sea And their wailing cries, they reached the very heavens My four green fields ran red with their blood, said she
What have I now, said the fine old woman What have I now, this proud old woman did say I have four green fields, one of them's in bondage In stranger's hands, that tried to take it from me But my sons had sons, as brave as were their fathers And my fourth green field will bloom once again said she
And my fourth green field will bloom once again said she

I think this one still missing "The Last Rose of Summer"
I first heard it as sung in German as part of the opera "Martha" by Friedrich von Flotow

Thanks Mr Blether ... a thread I'm very comfortable in.
Lets start with s few slip jigs.
Early days of Planxty and pick the fameous names who later went onto solo careers.
