By a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl calling Micheal they are taking you away For you stole Trevelyn's corn So the young might see the morn. Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.

By a lonely prison wall I heard a young man calling Nothing matter Mary when your free, Against the Famine and the Crown I rebelled they ran me down Now you must raise our child with dignity.

By a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl calling Michael they are taking you away For you stole Trevelyans corn So the young might see the morn Now a prison ship lay waiting in the bay Chorus: 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 prison wall I heard a young man calling Nothing matters Mary when you're free Against the famine and the crown I rebelled they cut me down Now you must raise our child with dignity Chorus By a lonely harbour wall She watched the last star falling As the prison ship sailed out against the sky For she lives to hope and pray For her love in Botany bay It's so lonely around the fields of Athenry.
