The Dubliners--The Fields Of Athenry Lyrics
By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young girl calling
Michael they are taking you away
For you stole Trevelyans corn
So the young might see the morn
Now a prison ship is taking you away

Chorus
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
Now it's loney 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

By a lonely harbour wall
She watched the last star falling
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
Now she must live in hope and pray
For her love in Botany bay
For it's lonely round the fields of Athenry

@hhalez In the chorus it's: Low lie the Fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small free birds fly (ooh baby let the free birds fly) Our love was on the wing (Sinn Féin) We had dreams and songs to sing (The I.R.A.) It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry and later: Nothing matters Mary if we're free Against the famine, and the crown (fuck the crown)

@jallen9343 This is Paddy Reilly who was the lead singer for the Dubliners at the time of this recording. He left The Dubliners in 2005, sadly and was replaced by Patsy Watchorn. They are touring the country at the moment,and are appearing at the Theatre Royal Norwich on March 12th ( a few seats left) where I shall be seeing them. Yippee!

[xthecometx]
