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
