Traditional Irish song of freedom
beautiful song recorded by many artists
Verse
By a Flonely prison wall
I Fheard a young girl FcallingG
FMicheal they are Ftaking you awaGy
FFor you stole Trevelyn's Fcorn
So the Fyoung might see the Gmorn
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the Fbay
Chorus
FLow Flie the FFields of AthenAmry
Where Fonce we watched the small free birds Gfly
Our Flove was on the Fwing
We had Fdreams and songs to Gsing
Its so lonely 'round the Fields of AthenFry
Verse 2
By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young man calling
Nothing matter Mary when your free,
Against the famine and the Crown
I rebelled they cut me down
Now you must raise our child with dignity
Chorus
Verse 3
By a lonely harbor wall
She watched the last star falling
As that prison ship sailed out against the sky
Sure she'll wait and hope and pray
For her love in Botany Bay
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry
Chorus
