Dropkick Murphys - Fields Of Athenry Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • By a 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.
  • 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 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.
  • [Chorus]
  • By a lonely harbor wall, she watched the last star falling
  • As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
  • For she lived to hope and pray for her love in Botany Bay
  • It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.
  • [Chorus]
