Lyrics
By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling
"Michael they have taken you away
For you stole Trevelyn's coal, so the young might see the day
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 harbour wall, she watched the last star falling
As that prison ship sailed out against the sky
Still she waited, hoping, praying for her love in body there
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
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
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry
