Lyrics
By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young girl calling
"Michael, Michael, Michael
They have taken you away
For your soul's rebellion's cause
So young like Sinead O'Connor
Now the prison ship lies waiting in the bay"
Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free bird 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
"Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary
Nothing matters Mary when you're free
It's 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 bird 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
The prison ship sailed out against the sky
She must live and hope and pray
For her love in Botany Bay
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry
Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free bird fly
Our love was on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry
