The 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
