[Strophe1:]
By a lonely prison wall,
I heard a young girl calling
Michael, they have taken you away,
For you stole Trevelyan´s corn,
So the young might see the morn.
Now a 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
[Strohe 2:]
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, thy cut me down.
Now you must raise our child with dignity.
[Refrain:]
[Strohe 3:]
By a lonely harbor wall, she watched the last star falling.
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
Sure she´ll wait and hope , for her love in Botany Bay
It´s so lonely round the fields of Athenry
[Refrain:]
