Fields Of Athenry Lyrics & Chords By Off Kilter

By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young girl calling
Michael they are taking you away
For you stole Trevelyand's corn
So the young might see the morn
Our prison ship lies waiting in the bay

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 cut me down
You must raise our child with diginity

Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we saw the small free birds fly
Our love is on the wing
We have dreams and songs to sing
So lonely around the fields of Athenry

By a lonely harbour wall
She watched the last star falling
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
For she live hope and pray
For her love in Botany Bay
So lonely around the fields of Athenry

Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we saw the small free birds fly
Our love is on the wing
We have dreams and songs to sing
So lonely around the fields of Athenry

Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we saw the small free birds fly
Our love is on the wing
We have dreams and songs to sing
So lonely around the fields of Athenry

Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we saw the small free birds fly
Our love is on the wing
We have dreams and songs to sing
So lonely around the fields of Athenry
