DROPKICK MURPHYS - Fields of Athenry - Live in Boston + Lyrics

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

If this is what it takes for a new generation to listen to traditional music, so be it. I love my traditional music but this I definitely can listen to. Thanks Murphys.

[@stephensanfilippo1845]

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!

Dropkick Murphys are a great American band

[@martintoland1595]

An enjoyable bunch of Yanks who obviously enjoy the "Craic" & support of their🤔 American/Irish-American🤔 supportive enterourage🙄 indulging in the.. "Sex-Pistolish".. rendering of this jewel of a song best performed in it's heartrending delivery by the mighty "PADDY RILEY" & as always voiced in hair-raising fashion by all "Irish Rugby Fans" in "Fortress Aviva" or any other stadium... Sorry "Dropkicks" but only the post Covid, fan filled Stadium of Stade de France/Paris will totally outshine yer performance by the travelling.. "IRISH CONTINGENTS"... singing their hearts out with.. "The Fields Of Athenry"... to totally drown out the opposing French Connections & their bombastic rendition of....... "La Marseillaise"... French throats don't have the same stamina or staying power of "Paddy's" when it comes to a great historic song which doesn't,.. encourage drinking mugs of the opponents blood..in the lyrics of it's anthem... certainly not when there's "Pints Of Guinness" always available...near hand... to fortify the..."Boys In Green"...be they "Fans or Team"... SO... Pardon Mesdames et Messieurs but prepare to have your..."Les Bleus" Gallic Arses.. kicked into touch by the "Gaelic" Irish boys in Green at the.. "Stade de France" Paris tomorrow ....then watch as we go on to win the.. "6 NationsGrand Slam" 2022. ☘🇨🇮COYBIG🇮🇪☘

[@JG19709]

To all those saying you must be born in Ireland to be Irish, well, we the children of the diaspora prefer to keep the Ould Sod in our hearts and memories. And this is a perfect song for it, one to remind a people that they were scattered amongst the world against their will or due to desperation. To quote Flogging Molly: Genuflect all you refugees who fled the land Now on guilt you kneel And say a prayer for those left behind From beyond the pale to the Northern sky So you saved your shillins and your last six pence Cause in God`s name they built a barbed wire fence Be glad you sailed for a better day

[@nakyer]

They can't take one drop of your Irish blood from you nor one gene of your Irish DNA. Ignore them. If you're of Irish ancestry, you are, and there's not one thing a stubborn asal like them can do about it.

[@22grena]

Irish people not born in Ireland: De Valera, Tom Clarke, James Connally, Hugh Dubh O'Neil, Shane McGowan and so many more. What would have Ireland have been without them. Yes England.

@Mark K Pipes are irish Mark,not scottish....so are kilts

[@galoglaich3281]

@@chicsamson6457 Kilts are primarily a scottish thing.They wear them for formal events and supporting there national teams we don't . Nationalists tried to make it popular in the early 1900s ,but it never took off . It was compulsory for male irish dancers to wear them up until the 90s ,but now the practice has been abandoned there may be the odd one,but kilt wearing has never been a visceral part of irish culture .Historically there was the leine ,but though similar wasn't a kilt.Bagpipes are irish but not the mouth blown pipes ,irish pipes are played with a bellows and called the uilleann pipes.

@@galoglaich3281 To be fair kilt wearing is not a part of scottish culture either,only as the aforementioned weddings,but they were invented in Ireland,that makes them Irish,no point in arguing the fact
