By a lonely prison wall
(Imprisoned is her broken heart)
I heard a young girl calling
(You hear her cries echo imparting)
Michael they have taken you away
(Faron from earth taken away)
For you stole Trevelyn's corn
(Now her world is scorn)
So the young might see the morn
(Never again she'll see the light of morn)
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay
(Now she waits to be taken where you lay)
chorus....
Low lie the fields of Athenry
(Wish i'd lie in the ground i wanna die)
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
(I no longer hear a song only hear birds cry)
Our love was on the wing
(Our love in flight had taken wing)
We had dreams and songs to sing
(We could soar above many a bad thing)
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry
(Now i'm too fragile to even try)
By a lonely prison wall
(Imprisoned is her broken heart)
I heard a young man calling
(You hear his promise(SM) echo imparting)
Nothing matters mary when you're free
(You Sally matter most to me)
Against the famine and the crown
(Don't tarnish your golden crown)
I rebelled they ran me down
(I'll never let you down)
Now you must raise our child with dignity
(You must raise your spirit peacefully)
