The Fields Of Athenry Lyrics - Daniel O'donnell

The Fields of Athenry 

By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling 

"Michael, they have taken 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. 

By a lonely harbor wall, she watched the last star fall 

As the prison ship sailed out against the sky 

Sure she'll wait and hope and pray for her love in Botany Bay 

It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.
