Fields of Athenry

By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling Michael, they have taken you away For, you stole Trafalgian's corn, so the young might see the morn Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay Lo, 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, Nothin' matters Mary when you're free, Against the famine and the Crown, I rebelled, they brought me down. Now, you must raise our child with dignity... Lo, 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 harbor wall, she watched the last star falling, as the prison ship sailed out against the sky, sure she'll live and hope and pray for her loving Bonnie Bay It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry Lo, 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 It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry
