Paddy Schmidt - The Fields Of Athenry lyrics

Your rating:

I heard a young girl calling
 "Michael they are taking you away
 For you stole Travellyn?s corn
 so that the young might see the morn?
 Now the prison ship lies waiting in the bay"

 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"

 By a lonely harbour wall
 she watched the last star falling
 While the prison ship
 sailed out against the sky
 Sure she wait and hope and pray
 for her love in Botany Bay
 It?s so lonely round the fields of Athenry

 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
