Words:
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.
Chorus
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.
-2-
By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young man calling
Nothing matter Mary when your free,
Against the Famine and the Crown
I rebelled they ran me down
Now you must raise our child with
dignity.
Chorus
-3-
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.
Chorus
