Текст песни Seanchai - Fields Of Athenrye

By the lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling,
"Michael, they are taking you away
For you stole Trevalian's corn, so the young might see the morn
Now the prison ship lies waiting in the bay"

CHORUS:
Low lie the Fields Of Athenrye,
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 Athenrye

By the lonely prison wall, I heard a young man calling,
"Nothing matters Mary when you're free
Against the famine and the crown, I rebeled, they shut me down,
Now you must raise our child in dignity"

CHORUS

By the lonely harbour walls, she watched the last star falling
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
But she'll wait and hope and pray,
For her love in Botany Bay,
It's so lonely, 'round the Fields of Athenrye

CHORUS
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenrye
