Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file
By a lonely prison wall
I heard a sweet voice calling
Danny they have taken you away
For you stole Travelian's corn
That your babes might see the morn
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay
Fair lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small freebirds fly
Our love grew with the spring
We had dreams and songs to sing
As we wandered through the fields of Athenry
By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young man calling
Nothing matters Jenny when you're free
Against the famine and the crown
I rebelled they ran me down
Now you must raise our children without me
Fair lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small freebirds fly
Our love grew with the spring
We had dreams and songs to sing
As we wandered through the fields of Athenry
Fair lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small freebirds fly
Our love grew with the spring
We had dreams and songs to sing
As we wandered through the fields of Athenry
By a lonely prison wall
I heard a sweet voice calling
Danny they have taken you away
For you stole Travelian's corn
That your babes might see the morn
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay
On the windswept harbour wall
She watched the last star rising
As the prison ship sailed out across the sky
But she'll watch and hope and pray
For her love in Botany Bay
Whilst she is lonely in the fields of Athenry.
Fair lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small freebirds fly
Our love grew with the spring
We had dreams and songs to sing
As we wandered through the fields of Athenry
Wandered through the fields of Athenry
