1]
By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling
Michael they are taking you away
For you stole trevalians corn, that the young might see the morn
Now the prison ship lies waiting in the bay
Low lie the Fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free bird fly
Our love was on the wing, we had dreams and songs to sing
Now it's lonely round the Fields of Athenry
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 rebelled, they ran me down
Now you must raise our child with dignity
3]
By a lonely harbour wall, she watched the last star falling
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
But she'll wait and hope and pray, for her love in Botany Bay
It's so lonely round the Fields of Athenry
