[center]By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling Michael, they have taken you away, For you stole Trevelyan's corn, So the young might see the morn. Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay. Low lie the fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small free birds fly [b]"Hey Baby let the free birds fly!"[/b] Our love was on the wing [b]"Sinn Fein!"[/b] We had dreams and songs to sing [b]"IRA!"[/b] It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry. By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young man calling Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free Against the famine and the crown, [b]"FUCK THE CROWN!"[/b] I rebelled, they cut me down. Now you must raise our child with dignity. By a lonely harbor wall, she watched the last star falling As the prison ship sailed out against the sky Sure she'll wait and hope and pray, for her love in Botany Bay It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry. It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry. Keep the faith. Tiocfaidh Ár Lá - Our Day Will Come! [/center]
