The Dubliners

The Dubliners - Fields Of Athenry lyrics

Your rating:

By a lonely prison wall, 

I heard a young girl calling 

Michael they have taken you away, 

For you stole Trevelyn'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 lonley 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 dignaty



CHORUS 



By a lonley 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 Botney Bay 

Its so lonely round the Fields Of Athenry



CHORUS
