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.
[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.
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.
[Chorus]
By a lonely harbor wall, she watched the last star falling 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 Athenry.
