Fields Of Athenry Lyrics
Fields of Athenry
By a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl calling
Michael they are taking you away
For you stole Travellyn4s corn, so that the young might see the morn4
Now the prison ships 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
It4s so lonely 4round the fields of Athenry
By a lonely prison wall I heard a young man calling
Nothing matters, Mary, when you4re 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
It4s so lonely 4round the fields of Athenry

By a lonely harbour wall she watched the last star falling
While the prison ship sailed out against the sky
Sure she wait and hope and pray for her love in Botany Bay
It4s so lonely 4round 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
It4s so lonely 4round the fields of Athenry
