The Fields of Athenry<br><br>By a lonely prison wall<br>I heard a young girl calling<br>Micheal they are taking you away<br>For you stole Trevelyn's corn<br>So the young might see the morn.<br>Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.<br><br>Low lie the Fields of Athenry<br>Where once we watched the small free birds fly.<br>Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing<br>It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.<br><br>By a lonely prison wall<br>I heard a young man calling<br>Nothing matter Mary when your free,<br>Against the Famine and the Crown<br>I rebelled they ran me down<br>Now you must raise our child with dignity.<br><br>Low lie the Fields of Athenry<br>Where once we watched the small free birds fly.<br>Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing<br>It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.<br><br>By a lonely harbor wall<br>She watched the last star falling<br>As that prison ship sailed out against the sky<br>Sure she'll wait and hope and pray<br>For her love in Botany Bay<br>It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.<br><br>Low lie the Fields of Athenry<br>Where once we watched the small free birds fly.<br>Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing<br>It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.
