Where the Fight Was

In the place where the fight was Across the river, In the place where the fight was Across the river:

A heavy load for a woman To lift in her blanket, A heavy load for a woman To carry on her shoulder.

In the place where the fight was Across the river, In the place where the fight was Across the river:

The women go wailing To gather the wounded, The women go wailing To pick up the dead.
