The Fields of Athenry Lyrics by Fiddlers’ Sons

Changing Times Fiddlers’ Son

0

[Verse 1]
By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young girl calling
Michael they are taking you away
For you have 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 wings
We had dreams and songs to sing
Now it's lonely 'round the fields of Athenry
[Verse 2]
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 rebeled, thеy ran me down
Now you must raise our child with dignity
[Chorus]
Low lie thе fields
Of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wings
We had dreams and songs to sing
Now it's lonely 'round the fields of Athenry
[Verse 3]
By a windswept harbor wall
She watched the last star falling
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
But she'll hope and wait and pray
For her love in botany bay
Now she's lonely
'Round the fields of athenry
[Chorus]
Low lie the fields
Of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wings
We had dreams and songs to sing
Now it's lonely 'round the fields of Athenry
