The Fields Of Athenry

Bu a lonely prison wall,

i heard a young girl calling

Michael they have taken you away,

for you stole trevelyn corn

so the young might see the morn,

now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay

CHORUS

Low lie, The Fields Of Athenry

where once we watched the small free birds fly

Our love was on the wing

we had dreams and songs to sing,

its so lonely round the Fields of Athenry

By a lonley prison wall

I heard a young man calling

'Nothing matters Mary, when you're free'

Against the famine and the crown,

i rebelled, they brought me down

Now its lonley round the fields of athenry

CHORUS

By a lonley harbour wall

she watched the last star falling

as the prison ship sailed out against the sky

Sure she'' live in hope and pray

For her love in Botney Bay

Its so lonely round the Fields Of Athenry
