ne1 who calls themselves irish should know this song it kicks ass!!!
FBy a lonely prison wall
FI heard a young girlF caGlling
F"Michael , theyF are takingG you away"
For you sFtole Treveleyns Fcorn
So the yFoung might see the Gmorn
Now a prison ship lies waiting in theF bay
Chorus:
F F F F/F# Am
Low, lie the fields of athenry,
FWhere once we watched the small free birds Gfly
FOur love was on the Fwing
We had dFreams and songs to Gsing
Its so lonely round the Fields of FAthenry
By a lonely prison wall,
I heard a young man calling,
Nothing Matters Mary when your free
Against the Famine and the Crown
I rebelled, they ran me down,
Mow you must raise our child with dignity
Chorus:
By a lonely harbour wall
She watched the last star falling
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky.
Sure shell wait and hope and pray,
For her love in Botany Bay.
Its so lonely round the Fields of Athenry
