Fields of Athenry |
By a lonely prison wall, |
I heard a young girl calling |
Michael, they have taken you away, |
For you stole Trevelyan’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 cut 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. |
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. |
