John Mcdermott - The Fields Of Athenry Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • By a lonely prison wall
  • I heard a young girl calling,
  • michael, they are taking you away.
  • For you stole travelyns corn,
  • So the young might see the morn,
  • Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.
  • Chorus
  • Low lie the fields of athenry
  • Where once we watched the small freebirds fly.
  • Our love was on the wing,
  • We had dreams and songs to sing
  • Its so lonely rond the fields of athenry
  • By a lonely prison wall
  • I heard a young man calling
  • nothing matters, mary when youre free
  • Against the famine and the crown,
  • I rebelled, they cut me down,
  • Now you must raise our child with dignity.
  • Chorus
  • By a lonely harbour wall,
  • As she watched the last star falling
  • As the prison ship said out against the sky
  • For she lived in hope and prayed,
  • For her love in botany bay
  • Its so lonely round the fields of athenry
  • Chorus
  • Its so lonely round the fields of athenry
