The Fields Of Athenry
View ArtistLyrics
By a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl calling Michael they are taking you away For you stole Trevelyn's corn So the young might see the morn Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay 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 It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry By a lonely prison wall I heard a young man calling Nothing matters Mary when your're free Against the Famine and the Crown I rebelled they cut me down Now you must raise our child with dignity 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 It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry By a lonely harbour wall She watched the last star falling As the prison ship sailed out against the sky Sure she'll wait in hope and pray For her love in Botany Bay It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry 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 It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry
