Fields of Athenry
by me for the Irish band/group BarleyJuice.
- Ian C.T. vom Saal
[Verse-1]
[] [] [] [] [] []
By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling
[] [] [] []
Michael they are taking you away
[] [] [] []
For you stole trevalians corn, that the young might see the morn
[] [] []-[]-[]
Now the prison ship lies waiting in the bay
------------------------------------------------------
[CHORUS]
[] [] [] []
Low lie the Fields of Athenry
[] [] [] []
Where once we watched the small free bird fly
[] [] [] []
Our love was on the wing, we had dreams and songs to sing
[] [] []-[]-[]
Now it's lonely round the Fields of Athenry
------------------------------------------------------
[Verse-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, they ran me down
[] [] []-[]-[]
Now you must raise our child with dignity
------------------------------------------------------
[CHORUS]
------------------------------------------------------
[Verse-3]
[] [] [] [] [] []
By a lonely harbour wall, she watched the last star falling
[] [] [] []
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
[] [] [] []
But she'll wait and hope and pray, for her love in Botany Bay
[] [] []-[]-[]
It's so lonely round the Fields of Athenry
------------------------------------------------------
[CHORUS]
