By 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 dawn
Now the 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 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 ran me down
Now you must
Raise our child in 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 lonely harbour wall
She watched
The last star falling
As the prison ship sailed out
Against the sky
Though she lives in hope,
And pray's
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

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
