The Fields Of Athenry lyrics

By the lonely
garden wall

I heard a young
girl calling

Michael, they are
sending you away

For you stole
Trevelyn'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
She heard her
Michael calling

Nothing matters
Mary when
you're free

Against the
famine and
the crown

I rebelled,
they ran 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

By a lonely
harbour wall
She watched the
last star falling

As that prison ship
sailed out
against the sky

But she'll live
and hope and pray

For her love in
Botany Bay

It's so lonely
round the
fields of Athenry

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

So lonely
'round the
fields of Athenry
