THE FIELDS OF ATHENRY

THE DUBLINERS

Capo II

Key:

By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl c all- ing,

Michael they ar e takin' you away,

For yo u stole Trevely an's corn, so the young might see the morn,

Now a p rison ship lies waiting in the bay.

L ow lie th e fields of Athenry,

where o nce we watched the small free b irds fly,

Our love was on th e wing, we had dreams and songs to sing,

It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.

By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young man call-ing,

Nothing matters Mary when you're free,

Against the famine and the crown, I rebelled they put me down,

Now you must raise our child with dignity.

(Refrain)

By a lonely harbour wall, she watched the last star fall-ing,

As the prison ship sailed out against the sky,

For she waits and hopes and prays, for her love in Botany bay,

It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.

(Refrain)
