Lyrics
By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young girl calling
"Michael, they are taking you away
For you stole Trevelyan's corn
So the young might see the morn
Now a 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 a lonely harbour 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
You must raise our child with 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
Of Athenry"

By a lonely harbour wall
She watched the last star falling
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
For she waited, hoped and pray
For her love in Botany Bay
It's so lonely around 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

And it's so lonely around the fields of Athenry
