Karaoké The Fields of Athenry Mary Duff

By a lonely prison wall

I heard a young girl callin'

Michael they have taken you away

For you stole Trevelyan's corn so the young might see the morn

Now a prison ship lies waitin' 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

Now it's lonely 'round the fields of Athenry

By a lonely prison wall

I heard a young man callin'

Nothin' 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

Now it's lonely 'round the fields of Athenry

By a lonely harbor wall she watched the last star fallin' as that prison ship sailed out against the sky

For she lived in 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

Now it's lonely 'round the fields of Athenry

It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry
