BY A LONELY PRISON WALL
I HEARD A YOUNG GIRL CALLING
MICHEAL, THEY ARE
TAKING YOU AWAY
FOR YOU STOLE
TREVELYN'S CORN
SO, THE YOUNG
MIGHT SEE THE MORN
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 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
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 HARBOUR WALL
SHE WATCHED
THE LAST STAR FALLING
AS THAT 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
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...
