The Fields Of Athenry
Ton : ECapo 2English
By a Dlonely prison wall, I Gheard a young girl cDall-Aing,
DMichael they arGe takin' youA away,
For yoDu stole TrevelyGan's corn, so Dthe young might Asee the morn,
Now a pA7rison ship lies waiting in Dthe bay.
Refrain
LDow lie thGe fieldsD of Athenry,Bm
where oDnce we watched the small free bAirds fly,
Our D love was on thGe wing, we hadD dreams and songs Ato sing,
It's so A7lonely round the fields ofD Athenry.
By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young man call-ing,
Nothing matters Mary when you're free,
Against the famine and the crown, I rebelled they put me down,
Now you must raise our child with dignity.
Refrain
(Refrain)
By a lonely harbour wall, she watched the last star fall-ing,
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky,
For she waits and hopes and prays, for her love in Botany bay,
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.
