The Fields Of Athenry

By a lonely prison wall,
 I heard a young girl calling
 ♪
 Michael they are taking you away,
 For you stole Trevelyan's corn
 So the young might see the morn,
 Now a prison ship 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,
 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
 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
