The Fields Of Athenry
By a lonely prison wallI heard a young girl callingMichael are they taking you away?For you stole Trevelyn's cornSo the young might see the morn.Now a prison ship is waiting in the bayLow lie the Fields of AthenryWhere once we watched the small free birds fly.(Come on baby let the free birds fly)Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to singIt's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.By a lonely prison wallI heard a young man callingNothing matters Mary if you're free,Against the Famine and the CrownI rebelled they put me downNow you must raise our child with dignity.Low lie the Fields of AthenryWhere once we watched the small free birds fly.(Come on baby let the free birds fly)Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to singIt's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.SongtexteBy a lonely harbor wallShe watched the last star fallingAs the prison ship sailed out against the skyBut she'll wait, she'll hope and she'll prayFor her love in Botany BayIt's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.Low lie the Fields of AthenryWhere once we watched the small free birds fly.(Come on baby let the free birds fly)Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to singIt's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.Low lie the Fields of AthenryWhere once we watched the small free birds fly.(Come on baby let the free birds fly)Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to singIt's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.It's lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.
