unknown - fields of athenry lyrics
by a lonely prison wall, i heard a young girl call-ing
michael they are taking you a-way____
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 athen-ry
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 athen-ry____
—-
by a lonely prison wall, i heard a young man call-ing
nothing matters, mary, when you’re free____
against the famine and the crown, i re-belled, they ran
me down
now you must raise our child with digni-ty____
by a lonely harbour wall, she watched the last star fall-
ing
as the 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 athen-ry
