By\[Sol] a lonely prison wall,I\[Do] heard a young man\[Sol] call\[Ré]ing,
|
|
|
|
|
\[Sol]Michael they are\[Do] taken you a\[Ré]way,
|
|
|
|
|
For you\[Sol] stole trevelyne\[Do] corn,so the\[Sol] young might see the\[Ré] morn,
|
|
|
|
|
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the\[Sol] bay.

|
\[sol]Low\[Do] lie the\[Sol] fields of athenry,where once we watched the small free birds\[Ré] fly,
|
|
|
|
|
Our\[Sol] love was on the\[Do] wing,we had\[Sol] dreams and songs to\[Ré] sing,
|
|
|
|
|
It's so lonely round the fields of Athen\[Sol]ry.

|
|
|
|
|
By a lonely prison wall,I heard a young man calling,
|
|
|
|
|
Nothing matters Mary when your free,
|
|
|
|
|
Against the famine and the crown,I rebelled they put me down,
|
|
|
|
|
Now you must rase our child with dignity.

\beginverse
|
|
|
|
|
By a lonely harbour wall,she watched the last star falling,
|
|
|
|
|
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky,
|
|
|
|
|
For she waits and hopes and prayes,for her love in Botany bay,
|
|
|
|
|
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry
