The Fields Of Athenry Lyrics - Rambling Boy - Charlie Haden

By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling 

Michael, they have taken you away 

For you stole Trevelyn's corn so the young might see the morn 

Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay 

Low lie, the fields of Athenry 

Where once we watched the small free birds fly 

Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing 

It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry 

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, they cut me down 

Now you must raise our child with dignity

Low lie, the fields of Athenry 

Where once we watched the small free birds fly 

Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing 

It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry 

By a lonely harbor wall, she watched the last star falling 

As that prison ship sailed out against the sky 

For she'll live and hope and pray, for her love in Botany Bay 

It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry 

Low lie, the fields of Athenry 

Where once we watched the small free birds fly 

Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing 

It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry
