Booze Brothers Fields Of Athenry


By the lonely prison wall
I heard a young girl calling:
"Michael they've taken you away
For you stole Trevelyan's corn
So the young might see the morn
Now the prison ship lies waiting in the bay"

Refrain:
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"

Refrain

By the lonely prison wall she watched the last star
falling
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
But she'll hope and wait and pray
for her love in Bontany Bay
It's so lonely round the Fields of Athenry

Refrain
