ne1 who calls themselves irish should know this song it kicks ass!!!
GBy a lonely prison wall
CI heard a young girlG caDlling
G"Michael , theyC are takingD you away"
For you sGtole Treveleyns Ccorn
So the yGoung might see the Dmorn
Now a prison ship lies waiting in theG bay
Chorus:
G C G G/F# Em
Low, lie the fields of athenry,
GWhere once we watched the small free birds Dfly
GOur love was on the Cwing
We had dGreams and songs to Dsing
Its so lonely round the Fields of GAthenry
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
