T:The Fields of Athenry
C:Pete St. John

N: By a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl calling
N: Michael they are taking you a way.
N:  For you stole Trevelyan's corn, so the young might see the morn.
N: Now a prison ship lies wait-ing in the bay.
N:Chorus -
N: Low lie the fields of Athenry where once we watched the small free birds fly.
N: Our love was on the wing, we had dreams and songs to sing.
N: It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry.
N:
N: By a lonely prison wall I heard a young man calling
N: Nothing matters Mary when you're free.
N:  Against the Famine and the Crown, I rebelled, they ran me down.
N: Now you must raise our child with dignity.
N:
N: By a lonely harbour wall, she watched the last star falling
N: As that prison ship sailed out against the sky.
N: Sure she'll wait and hope and pray, for her love in Botany Bay.
N: It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry.
