Irish Song Lyrics 
from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Fields Of Athenry 
By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling "Michael, they are taking you away For you stole Trevellyans corn so the young might see the morn Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay" 
Low lies the fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small freebirds fly Our love was on the wing, we had dreams and songs to sing Now it's so lonely round the fields of Athenry 
By a lonely prison wall I heard a young man calling "Nothing matters, Mary, when your free Against the famine and the crown I rebelled, they ran me down Now you must raise our child with dignity" 
Low lies the fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small freebirds fly Our love was on the wing, we had dreams and songs to sing Now it's so lonely round the fields of Athenry 
By a lonely harbour wall she watched the last star falling As the prison ship sailed out against the tide Now she'll wait in hope and pray for her love in Botany Bay It's so lonely round the fields of athenry 
Low lies the fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small freebirds fly Our love was on the wing, we had dreams and songs to sing Now it's so lonely round the fields of Athenry Now it's so lonely round the fields of Athenry
