By lonely prison walls
I heard a young girl calling:
Michael, they are taking you away
For you stole Travelyen’s corn
so the young might see the morn
now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay

Lowland the fields of Athenry
where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing
we had dreams and songs to sing
it’s so lonely round the fields of Athenry

By lonely prison walls
I heard a young man calling:
Nothing matters, Mary, when you’re free
Against the Famine and the Crown
I rebelled, they cut me down
now you must raise our child with dignity

Low lie the fields of Athenry
where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing
we had dreams and songs to sing
it’s so lonely round the fields of Athenry

By lonely harbour walls
she watched the last star falling
as the prison ship sailed out against the sky
For she’ll live and hope and pray
for her love in Botany Bay
it’s so lonely round the fields of Athenry

Low lie the fields of Athenry
where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing
we had dreams and songs to sing
it’s so lonely round the fields of Athenry
