Fields of Athenry

Written by Pete St. John

By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young girl calling
Michael they have taken you away
For you stole Trevelyn’s corn
So the young might see the morn
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay

(chorus)
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 a lonely prison wall
I heard a young man calling
Nothing matters, Mary when you’re free
Against the famine and the Crown
I rebelled they ran me down
Now you must raise our child with dignity

By a lonely harbor wall
She watched the last star falling
As that 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.

I’m Shipping Up To Boston

I’m sailor peg
And I’ve lost my leg
A climbing up the topsails
I’ve lost my leg

I’m shipping up to Boston

Shipping off to Boston

Shipping out to Boston

To find my wooden leg
