By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling<\/p>\n
Michael, they are taking you away<\/p>\n
For you stole Trevelyn\u2019s corn, so the young might see the morn<\/p>\n
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
CHORUS:<\/p>\n
Low lie the fields of Athenry<\/p>\n
Where once we watched the small free birds fly<\/p>\n
Our love was on the wing, we had dreams and songs to sing<\/p>\n
It\u2019s so lonely round the fields of Athenry.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young man calling<\/p>\n
Nothing matters, Mary, when you\u2019re free<\/p>\n
\u2018gainst the Famine and the Crown, I rebelled, they ran me down<\/p>\n
Now you must raise our child with dignity.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
CHORUS<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
By a lonely harbour wall, she watched the last star falling<\/p>\n
And that prison ship sailed out against the sky<\/p>\n
Sure she\u2019ll wait and hope and pray, for her love in Botany Bay<\/p>\n
It\u2019s so lonely \u2018round the fields of Athenry.<\/p>\n
