Live on Lansdowne - BOSTON
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.
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 cut 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 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.
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

I'm so glad I am old enough to remember "Punk" and happier that I'm young enough to enjoy it

What a performance! Never heard this version before. Absolutely brilliant. Blew me away totally.

If this is what it takes for a new generation to listen to traditional music, so be it.

WHAT POWER. This performance of a sentimental ballad into and anthem of anger and resistance transcends being Catholic Boston Irish. It becomes every ethnicities and races of way of saying "We Will Not Be Held Down." "Avanti Popolo."

I love this song. This is the best. Kind of a mix of Dubliners and Social Distortion. My family came from Tuam, Galway in 1842. My Castle is near there. : ) My step father was from Southie. I'm from N. Chicago. A long way from!

We listened to this today in my Human Geo. class to compare popular culture to folk culture (we also listened to The Dubliners) so today was a good day
