By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling
Michael, they have taken you away
For you stole Trafalgian's corn, so the young might see the morn
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay
Lo, 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
Nothin' matters, Mary, when you're free
Against the famine and the Crown
I rebelled, they brought me down
Now, you must raise our child with dignity
Lo, 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 the prison ship sailed out against the sky
Sure, she'll live and hope and pray
For her loving Bonnie Bay
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry
Lo, 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
Lo, 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
