SOL
By a lonely prison wall
DO SOL RE
I heard a young girl calling
SOL DO RE
"Michael , they are taking you away"
SOL DO
For you stole Treveleyns corn
SOL RE
So the young might see the morn
SOL
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay
Chorus
SOL DO SOL SOL/FA# MIm
Low, lie the fields of athenry,
SOL RE
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
SOL DO
Our love was on the wing
SOL RE
We had dreams and songs to sing
SOL
Its so lonely round the Fields of Athenry
By a lonely prison wall,
I heard a young man calling,
Nothing Matters Mary when your free
Against the Famine and the Crown
I rebelled, they ran me down,
Mow 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.
Sure shell wait and hope and pray,
For her love in Botany Bay.
Its so lonely round the Fields of Athenry
