[Verse]
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."

[Chorus]
Low lie the fields of Athenry,
Where once we watched the small free bird fly, (Hey baby, let the free bird fly!)
Our love was on the wing, (Sinn Féin!)
Yes we've dreams and songs to sing, (IRA!)
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.

[Verse]
By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young bot calling,
"Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free,
Against the famine and the Crown, (Fuck the Crown!)
I rebelled, they cut me down,
Now you must raise our child with dignity."

[Chorus]
Low lie the fields of Athenry,
Where once we watched the small free bird fly, (Hey baby, let the free bird fly!)
Our love was on the wing, (Sinn Féin!)
Yes we've dreams and songs to sing, (IRA!)
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.

[Chorus]
Low lie the fields of Athenry,
Where once we watched the small free bird fly, (Hey baby, let the free bird fly!)
Our love was on the wing, (Sinn Féin!)
We had dreams and songs to sing, (IRA!)
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.

[Chorus]
One, two, three, four,
Low lie the fields of Athenry,
Where once we watched the small free bird fly, (Hey baby, let the free bird fly!)
Our love was on the wing, (Sinn Féin!)
We have dreams and songs to sing, (IRA!)
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.

[Verse]
By a lonely harbour wall, she watched the last star falling,
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky,
For she lives in hopes and pray,
For her love in Botany Bay,
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.

[Chorus]
Low lie the fields of Athenry,
Where once we watched the small free bird fly, (Hey baby, let the free bird fly!)
Our love was on the wing, (Sinn Féin!)
Yes we've dreams and songs to sing, (IRA!)
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.

[Chorus]
Low lie the fields of Athenry,
Where once we watched the small free bird fly, (Hey baby, let the free bird fly!)
Our love was on the wing, (Sinn Féin!)
Yes we've dreams and songs to sing, (IRA!)
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.

[Chorus]
One, two, three, four,
Low lie the fields of Athenry,
Where once we watched the small free bird fly, (Hey baby, let the free bird fly!)
Our love was on the wing, (Sinn Féin!)
We have dreams and songs to sing, (IRA!)
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry,
Oh, it's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.
