John Mcdermott - The Fields of Athenry текст песни

By a lonely prison wall

I heard a young girl calling,

michael, they are taking you away.

For you stole travelyns corn,

So the young might see the morn,

Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.

Chorus

Low lie the fields of athenry

Where once we watched the small freebirds fly.

Our love was on the wing,

We had dreams and songs to sing

Its so lonely rond the fields of athenry

By a lonely prison wall

I heard a young man calling

nothing matters, mary when youre free

Against the famine and the crown,

I rebelled, they cut me down,

Now you must raise our child with dignity.

Chorus

By a lonely harbour wall,

As she watched the last star falling

As the prison ship said out against the sky

For she lived in hope and prayed,

For her love in botany bay

Its so lonely round the fields of athenry

Chorus

Its so lonely round the fields of athenry
