Fields Of Athenry Lyrics

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.
