Traditional Irish song of freedom beautiful song recorded by many artists Verse

By a ^Glonely prison wall I ^Cheard a young girl ^Gcalling^D ^GMicheal they are ^Ctaking you awa^Dy ^GFor you stole Trevelyn's ^Ccorn So the ^Gyoung might see the ^Dmorn Now a prison ship lies waiting in the ^Gbay

Chorus

^GLow ^Clie the ^GFields of Athen^Emry Where ^Gonce we watched the small free birds ^Dfly Our ^Glove was on the ^Cwing We had ^Gdreams and songs to ^Dsing Its so lonely 'round the Fields of Athen^Gry

Verse 2 By a lonely prison wall I heard a young man calling Nothing matter Mary when your free, Against the famine and the Crown I rebelled they cut me down Now you must raise our child with dignity Chorus Verse 3 By a lonely harbor wall She watched the last star falling As that prison ship sailed out against the sky Sure she'll wait and hope and pray For her love in Botany Bay It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry Chorus
