[Strophe1:]
Eb5
By a lonely prison wall,
Ab5 Eb5 B5
I heard a young girl calling
Eb5 Ab5 B5
Michael, they have taken you away,
Eb5 Ab5
For you stole Trevelyan´s corn,
Eb5 B5
So the young might see the morn.
Eb5
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.
[Refrain:]
Eb5 Ab5 Eb5 C5
Low lie the fields of Athenry.
Eb5 C5 B5
Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
Eb5 Ab5
Our love was on the wing,
Eb5 B5
we had dreams and songs to sing
Eb5
It´s so lonely round the fields of Athenry
[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:]
