|
By a lonely prison wall |
|
I heard a young girl calling |
|
Micheal 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 you're free, |
|
Against the Famine and the Crown |
|
I rebelled they ran 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 harbor wall |
|
She watched the last star falling |
|
As that prison ship sailed out against the sky |
|
Sure she'll wait and 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. |
