Karaoké The Fields of Athenry The Booze Brothers

By the lonely prison wall

I heard a young girl calling

Michael they've taken you away

For you stole Trevelyn's corn so the young might see the morn

Now the 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 the 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 ran me down

You must now 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 the lonely prison wall she watched the last star falling

As that prison ship sailed out against the sky

But she'll hope and wait and pray

For her love in Botany Bay it's 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 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
