By  the lonely prison wall, i heard  a young girl cal-ling
Micheal  they have taken  you a-way
 For you stole  trevelins corn  so the young  might see the morn
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 the wing
 We had dreams  and songs to sing
and  so lonely round the fields of athenry
By  the lonely prison wall, i heard  a young man cal-ling
Nothing  matters mary  when your free
 against the famine  and the crown,  i rebelled  they cut 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 the wing
 We had dreams  and songs to sing
and  so lonely round the fields of athenry
By  the lonely harbor wall, she watched  the last star fa-ll
 as the prison  ship sailed out  against the sky
 for she lived  to hope and pray  for her love  in botany bay
and  it's so lonely round the fields of athenry
 x2 )
Low Lie  The fields  of athenry
 where once  we watched the small  free birds fly
 our love  was the wing
 We had dreams  and songs to sing
and  so lonely round the fields of athenry
