Fields Of Athenry Lyrics - Singles - Scythian

By a lonely prison wall 

I heard a young girl calling 

Michael they are taking you away 

For you stole Trevelyns 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 

(Hey baby let the free birds fly) 

Our love was on the wing 

We had dreams and songs to sing 

Its so lonely round 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 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 

(Hey baby let the free birds fly) 

Our love was on the wing 

We had dreams and songs to sing 

Its so lonely round the fields of Athenry 

By a lonely harbor wall 

She watched her last star falling 

As that prison ship sailed out against the sky 

How shell wait and hope and pray 

For her love in Botany Bay 

Its so lonely round the fields of Athenry 

Low lie the fields of Athenry 

Where once we watched the small free birds fly 

(Hey baby let the free birds fly) 

Our love was on the wing 

We had dreams and songs to sing 

Its so lonely round the fields of Athenry 

(Hey birdie, youre so fly, you fly through the Athenry, hey birdie! Hey birdie!)
