Verse 1
 
                                                     
By the lonely prison wall, i heard a young girl cal-ling
                          
Micheal they have taken you away
                                                     
For you stole trevelins corn so the young might see the morn
                                   
A prison ship lies waiting in the bay


Chorus 
                             
Low Lie The fields of athenry 
                                    
where once we watched the small free birds fly
                 
our love was the wing 
                          
We had dreams and songs to sing
                              
and so lonely  round the fields of athenry


Verse 2

                                                  
By the lonely prison wall, i heard a young man cal-ling
                             
Nothing matters mary when your free
                                                                    
against the famine and the crown, i fought they cut me down
                                  
now you must  raise our child with dignity

Chorus

Verse 3
                                                     
By the lonely harbor wall, she watched the last star fa-ll
                                        
as the prison ship sailed out against the sky
                                             
for she lived to hope and pray for her love in botany bay
                                       
and it's so lonely round the fields of athenry
