The Fields of Athenry (Live)

By a lonely prison wall

I heard a young girl calling

Michael they are taking you away

For you stole Trevelyan's corn

So the young might see the morn

Now 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 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 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 a lonely harbor wall

She watched the last star falling

As the prison ship sailed out against the sky

Now she must live in hope and pray

For her love in Botnay bay

It's 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

Now it's so lonely round the field of Athenry

Thank you, thank you very much
