Fields of Athenry (Tartan Terrors) By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling "Michael, they have taken you away, For you stole Trevelyan's corn, So that 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 ran me down. Now you must raise our child with dignity." (chorus) By a lonely harbor wall, she watched the last stars falling As the prison ship sailed out against the tide For she lived to hope and pray for her love in Botany Bay It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry. (chorus x 2) It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry. It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry. |
