Fields Of Athenry Lyrics - The Dubliners Essential Collection - Dubliners

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 

 

CHORUS 

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 

 

CHORUS 

 

By a lonely harbour wall 

She watched the last star falling 

As the prison ship sailed out against the sky 

For she lived in hope and pray 

For her love in Botany Bay 

It's so lonely round the Fields Of Athenry 

 

CHORUS
