The Fields Of Athenry

The Fields Of Athenry - Tara

By a lonely harbor wall

I heard a young girl calling

Micheal they are sending you away

For you stole Trevelyn's corn

That 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

Now it's lonely around the Fields of Athenry

By a lonely prison wall

I heard a young man calling

Nothing matters Mary when you're free

Against the hunger all the around

I stole they run 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 around the Fields of Athenry

By a lonely harbor wall

She watched the last star falling

As that prison ship sailed out against the sky

For she'll wait and hope and pray

For her love in Botany Bay

Now it's lonely around 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 around the Fields of Athenry
