Dropkick Murphys - Fields Of Athenry

By a lonely prison wall,
I heard a young girl calling
Michael, they have taken you away,
For you stole Trevelyan'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 cut 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 harbor wall,
she watched the last star falling
As that prison ship sailed out against the sky
Sure she'll wait and hope and pray,
for her love in Botany Bay
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry.

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.

Mein absolutes Lieblingslied dieser unglaublichen Band... Seit fast 10 Jahren begleiten die Dropkick Murphys mich durch mein Leben, gaben mir Trost als es mir schlecht ging, habe zusammen mit ihnen gerockt, gesoffen und Spaß gemacht... Auf die nächsten 10 Jahre!!! Grüße aus Good Old Germany

Armchair RA supporters disgust me.

You try and empathise you try and understand. You don't know half the fucking story!

Some people are so thick that they think fighting is still happening like this is an ongoing war? JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!

the peace process works, violence should never have happened. We are all able to co-exist now, stop trying to fuck it up!

:D Love this song. Only thing better than DKM or FM would be if they combined for a single song
