Off Kilter - Fields Of Athenry lyrics

By a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl calling Michael they are taking you away For you stole Trevelyand's corn So the young might see the morn Our prison ship lies waiting in the bay 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 You must raise our child with diginity Low lie the fields of Athenry Where once we saw the small free birds fly Our love is on the wing We have dreams and songs to sing So lonely around the fields of Athenry By a lonely harbour wall She watched the last star falling As the prison ship sailed out against the sky For she live hope and pray For her love in Botany Bay So lonely around the fields of Athenry Low lie the fields of Athenry Where once we saw the small free birds fly Our love is on the wing We have dreams and songs to sing So lonely around the fields of Athenry Low lie the fields of Athenry Where once we saw the small free birds fly Our love is on the wing We have dreams and songs to sing So lonely around the fields of Athenry Low lie the fields of Athenry Where once we saw the small free birds fly Our love is on the wing We have dreams and songs to sing So lonely around the fields of Athenry
