Lyrics
For her love in botany bay, as that prison ship sailed out against the sky
Our love was on the wing, by a lonely prison wall
It s so lonely round the fields of athenry, when you re free
I heard a young girl calling, now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay
It s so lonely round the fields of athenry, it s so lonely round the fields of athenry
So the young might see the morn, it s so lonely round the fields of athenry
Low lie the fields of athenry, i heard a young man calling, our love was on the wing
our love was on the wing
sure she ll wait and hope and pray
I heard a young girl calling, it s so lonely round the fields of athenry, now you must raise our child with dignity
We had dreams and songs to sing, i heard a young man calling, where once we watched the small free birds fly
By a lonely prison wall, our love was on the wing Of, i heard a young girl calling
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay, so the young might see the morn, against the famine and the crown
against the famine and the crown
It s so lonely round the fields of athenry, against the famine and the crown Fields, for you stole trevelyan s corn
our love was on the wing
They cut me down, i heard a young man calling, as that prison ship sailed out against the sky
i heard a young girl calling
Now you must raise our child with dignity, where once we watched the small free birds fly, it s so lonely round the fields of athenry
for you stole trevelyan s corn
Where once we watched the small free birds fly, our love was on the wing
Our love was on the wing, nothing matters
It s so lonely round the fields of athenry, for her love in botany bay
For you stole trevelyan s corn, now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay
For her love in botany bay, where once we watched the small free birds fly
It s so lonely round the fields of athenry, i heard a young girl calling
We had dreams and songs to sing, it s so lonely round the fields of athenry
Low lie the fields of athenry, now you must raise our child with dignity
They have taken you away, for her love in botany bay
it s so lonely round the fields of athenry
It s so lonely round the fields of athenry, now you must raise our child with dignity Of, we had dreams and songs to sing
i heard a young girl calling
we had dreams and songs to sing
For you stole trevelyan s corn, we had dreams and songs to sing
nothing matters
when you re free
It s so lonely round the fields of athenry, when you re free Brothers, we had dreams and songs to sing
For her love in botany bay, our love was on the wing
Now you must raise our child with dignity, it s so lonely round the fields of athenry, as that prison ship sailed out against the sky
when you re free
It s so lonely round the fields of athenry, our love was on the wing, they cut me down
It s so lonely round the fields of athenry, for her love in botany bay, i heard a young girl calling
Low lie the fields of athenry, i heard a young girl calling
Low lie the fields of athenry, when you re free Brothers, it s so lonely round the fields of athenry
so the young might see the morn
By a lonely harbor wall, we had dreams and songs to sing
Where once we watched the small free birds fly, our love was on the wing
Where once we watched the small free birds fly, against the famine and the crown, where once we watched the small free birds fly
