By a lonely prison wall
C G DI heard a young girl calling
G C D"Michael , they are taking you away"
For you stole Treveleyns corn
G DSo the young might see the morn
GNow a prison ship lies waiting in the bay
ChorusG C G G/F# Em
Low, lie the fields of athenry,
G DWhere once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing
G DWe had dreams and songs to sing
GIts so lonely round the Fields of Athenry
By a lonely prison wall,
I heard a young man calling,
Nothing Matters Mary when your free
Against the Famine and the Crown
I rebelled, they ran me down,
Mow you must raise our child with dignity
Chorus
By a lonely harbour wall
She watched the last star falling
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky.
Sure shell wait and hope and pray,
For her love in Botany Bay.
Its so lonely round the Fields of Athenry
