Lyrics

[00:00.68] By a lonely prison wall,
[00:03.68] I heard a young girl calling.
[00:10.08] Micheal ,they are taking you away,
[00:18.53] For you stole Trevelyn's corn.
[00:23.23] So the young might see the morn,
[00:27.55] Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.
[00:35.19] Low lie the Fields of Athenry,
[00:42.69] Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
[00:50.59] Our love was on the wing,
[00:53.68] We had dreams and songs to sing,
[00:58.22] It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.
[01:09.45] By a lonely prison wall,
[01:13.44] I heard a young man calling.
[01:19.62] Nothing matter Mary when your free,
[01:27.83] Against the Famine and the Crown.
[01:32.43] I rebelled they ran me down,
[01:36.82] Now you must raise our child with dignity.
[01:44.66] Low lie the Fields of Athenry,
[01:52.11] Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
[01:59.56] Our love was on the wing,
[02:03.23] We had dreams and songs to sing,
[02:07.28] It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.
[02:15.15] By a lonely harbor wall,
[02:19.21] She watched the last star falling.
[02:24.78] As that prison ship sailed out against the sky,
[02:33.25] Sure she'll wait and hope and pray.
[02:37.92] For her love in Botany Bay,
[02:42.18] It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.
[02:50.09] Low lie the Fields of Athenry,
[02:57.41] Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
[03:05.02] Our love was on the wing,
[03:08.66] We had dreams and songs to sing,
[03:12.87] It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.
[03:19.14] Low lie the Fields of Athenry,
[03:25.75] Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
[03:33.22] Our love was on the wing,
[03:37.40] We had dreams and songs to sing,
[03:41.21] It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.
[03:48.44] It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.
