Scythian - Fields Of Athenry lyrics
rate meBy a lonely prison wall<br />
I heard a young girl calling<br />
Michael they are taking you away<br />
For you stole Trevelyn's corn<br />
So the young might see the morn<br />
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay<br />
<br />
Low lie the fields of Athenry<br />
Where once we watched the small free birds fly<br />
(Hey baby let the free birds fly)<br />
Our love was on the wing<br />
We had dreams and songs to sing<br />
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry<br />
<br />
By a lonely prison wall<br />
I heard a young man calling<br />
Nothing matters Mary when you're free, <br />
Against the Famine and the Crown<br />
I rebelled they ran me down<br />
Now you must raise our child with dignity<br />
<br />
Low lie the fields of Athenry<br />
Where once we watched the small free birds fly<br />
(Hey baby let the free birds fly)<br />
Our love was on the wing<br />
We had dreams and songs to sing<br />
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry<br />
By a lonely harbor wall<br />
She watched her last star falling<br />
As that prison ship sailed out against the sky<br />
How she'll wait and hope and pray<br />
For her love in Botany Bay<br />
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry<br />
<br />
Low lie the fields of Athenry<br />
Where once we watched the small free birds fly<br />
(Hey baby let the free birds fly)<br />
Our love was on the wing<br />
We had dreams and songs to sing<br />
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry<br />
<br />
(Hey birdie, you're so fly, you fly through the Athenry, hey birdie! Hey birdie! )
