The Fields of Athenry Dervish (Ft. Jamey Johnson)

[Verse 1]
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"

[Verse 2]
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 brought me down
Now you must raise our child with dignity"

[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

[Instrumental break]

[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
