The Fields Of Athenry

The Fields Of Athenry - Johnny Logan

Written by：Trad

By a lonely prison wall

I heard

A young girl callin'

Michael are they taken you away

For you stole Trevelyn's corn

So you're young might see the morn

Now the prison ship bills waiting at the bay

Low lie the fields

Of Athenry

Where once we watched the small free bird fly

C'mon baby let the free bird 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 callin'

Nothing matters Mary

If you're free

Against the famine and the crown

I rebelled they put me down

Now you must raise our child

With dignity

Low lie the fields of Athenry

Where once we watched the small free bird fly

C'mon baby let the free bird 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 fallin'

As the prison ship sailed out against the sky

But she way

She'll hope and she'll 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

C'mon baby let the free bird fly

Our love was on the wing

We had dreams and songs to sing

It's so lonely

Round the fields of Athenry

Low lie the fields of Athenry

Where once we watched the small free bird fly

C'mon baby let the free bird fly

Our love was on the wing

We had dreams and songs to sing

It's so lonely

Round the fields of Athenry

It's lonely

Round the fields of Athenry
