The Fields of Athenry

from Drunken Redemption by Kilmaine Saints

/

lyrics

By the lonely prison wall,
I heard a young girl calling
Michael they have taken you away
For you stole Trevelyan's corn
so the young might see the morn
A prison ship lies
waiting in the bay

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 the 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 cut me down
now you must raise our
child with dignity

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 the lonely harbor wall,
she watched the last star fall
as the prison ship set sail
against the sky
for she hoped & watched & prayed
for her love in Botany Bay
and 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
