The Fields Of Athenry

The Fields Of Athenry - The Bachelors

It's a lonely around the fields of Athenry

By a lonely prison wall

I heard a young girl calling

Micheal they taking you away

For you stole Trevelyn's corn

So the young might see the more

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

It's so lonely round the Fields of Athenry

By a lonely prison wall

I heard a young man calling

Nothing matter Mary when your free

Against the Famine and the Crown

I rebelled they ran 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

It's so lonely round the Fields of Athenry

By a lonely harbor wall

She watched the last star falling

As that prison ship sailed out across the bell

Not she'll wait and hope and pray

For her love in Botany Bay

It's so 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

It's so lonely round the Fields of Athenry

It's so lonely round the Fields of Athenry
