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.

[D1MCV]

Why are you listening to this? You can obviously sing it better yourself!!! I'll be looking 'patrickspoint' on youtube soon to hear your perfect version :-)

[patrickspoint]

Gosh! you are so brave, aren't you? Insulting me while hiding behind the anonymity afforded by YouTube.

Ireland is very stupid, thick and broke plus any cunt can get in and get a passport which is why it is one of the few European countries that has more migrants than immigrants, to put it bluntly no fecker wants to live there.

[andy kane]

except the peak population of Ireland was 5.7 million, do the maths

[Laird Wingo]

That is bullshit. There are 60 million people who could get an Irish passport under those conditions. No country on Earth would be that stupid.

[Luka THC]

only 1 word describe's you RETARD!

[Bernd Müsse]

No one needs religious perverted folk songs.

Go on and sing and pray in your churches and temples and let all the others party on their own.

[Bernd Müsse]

Fields of Athenry is the song that I always fall back to in any mood. And besides the Dubliners' version this one is the best to me.
