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
