I like the solitude of this solo performance much better than more orchestrated versions. The emotion of this song is loneliness and longing, best captured by a solo artist.

*I couldn't find a video with lyrics, but alas:* "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 win; 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 harbour wall, She watched the last star falling, As that prison ship sailed out against the sky... For she lived in 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..."

Beautiful singing ,as always, but I wonder how many people enjoying listening to this recording are aware of just how versatile and multi-talented you are. When I first heard you sing to the accompaniment of your guitar, I couldn’t have imagined that you had such a great jazz voice. I look forward to your ever increasing success, and wonder which of your talents will bring you fame and fortune - jazz, folk, art?

They were Irish patriots, not rebels. While we were at it, the potato famine was a genocide as troops loaded Irish food onto ships & sent it to England. The truth needs to be told. Rachel sang this transportation song beautifully.
