[00:09.890] By a lonely prison wall
[00:13.750] I heard a young girl calling
[00:22.820] 'Michael, they are taking you away
[00:30.880] For you stole travelyns corn
[00:35.60] So the young might see the morn
[00:39.430] Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay
[00:48.480] Low lie the fields of Athenry
[00:56.630] Where once we watched the small freebirds fly
[01:04.890] Our love was on the wing
[01:08.910] We had dreams and songs to sing
[01:13.200] It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry
[01:22.260] By a lonely prison wall
[01:26.420] I heard a young man calling
[01:35.100] 'Nothing matters, Mary when you're free
[01:42.920] Against the famine and the crown
[01:47.360] I rebelled, They cut me down
[01:52.130] Now you must raise our child with dignity
[02:00.500] Low lie the fields of Athenry
[02:08.840] Where once we watched the small freebirds fly
[02:17.460] Our love was on the wing
[02:21.380] We had dreams and songs to sing
[02:25.990] It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry
[02:35.10] By a lonely harbour wall
[02:39.160] As she watched the last star falling
[02:47.640] As the prison ship said out against the sky
[02:56.420] For she lived in hope and prayed
[03:00.590] For her love in botany bay
[03:05.600] It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry
[03:14.680] Low lie the fields of Athenry
[03:22.520] Where once we watched the small freebirds fly
[03:31.120] Our love was on the wing
[03:35.250] We had dreams and songs to sing
[03:39.800] It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry
[03:52.720]
[03:57.800] thanks for listening
