[Strophe1:]
By a lonelD#5y prison wall,
G#5I heard a young girl D#5calliB5ng
MD#5ichael, they have tG#5aken you awB5ay,
For you D#5stole Trevelyan´s G#5corn,
So the D#5young might see the B5morn.
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the D#5bay.
[Refrain:]
D#5Low G#5lie the fD#5ields of AC5thenry.
D#5Where once we watched the sC5mall free birds B5fly.
Our lD#5ove was on the wG#5ing,
D#5we had dreams and songs to sB5ing
It´s so lonely round the fields of AD#5thenry
[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:]
