The Fields Of Athenry Lyrics

By a lonely prison wall,
i heard a young girl calling
Michael they have taken you away,
for you stole trevelyn 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,
its so lonely round the Fields of Athenry

By a lonley prison wall
I heard a young man calling Ira! - The Fields Of Athenry - http://motolyrics.com/ira/the-fields-of-athenry-lyrics.html
'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 dignaty

CHORUS

By a lonley harbour wall
she watched the last star falling
as the prison ship sailed out against the sky
Sure she'' live in hope and pray
For her love in Botney Bay
Its so lonely round the Fields Of Athenry

CHORUS
