The Fields of Athenry

| THE FIELDS OF ATHENRY By the lonely prison wall. I heard a young girl calling Michael they are taking 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. Our love was on the wing, We had dreams and songs to sing. It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry. By the 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. 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 harbour wall She watched the last star falling And 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. 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. | THE FIELDS OF ANFIELD ROAD Outside the Shankly Gates I heard a Kopite calling: HillsboroughShankly they have taken you away But you left a great eleven Before you went to heaven Now it's glory round the Fields of Anfield Road. All round the Fields of Anfield Road Where once we watched the King Kenny play (and he could play) Stevie Heighway on the wing We had dreams and songs to sing Of the glory round the Fields of Anfield Road Outside the Paisley Gates I heard a Kopite calling Paisley they have taken you away. You led the great 11 Back in Rome in 77 And the redmen they are still playing the same way All round the Fields of Anfield Road Where once we watched the King Kenny play (and he could play) Stevie Heighway on the wing We had dreams and songs to sing Of the glory round the Fields of Anfield Road. Outside the Hillsborough flames I heard Kopite mourning What so many taken on that day Justice has never been done But theirs memory will carry on And it's the glory round the Fields of Anfield Road. All round the Fields of Anfield Road Where once we watched the King Kenny play (and he could play) Stevie Heighway on the wing We had dreams and songs to sing Of the glory round the Fields of Anfield Road. Of the glory round the Fields of Anfield Road. |
