The Dubliners--The Fields Of Athenry Lyrics
By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young girl calling
Michael they are taking you away
For you stole Trevelyans corn
So the young might see the morn
Now a prison ship is taking you away
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
Now it's loney 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
By a lonely harbour wall
She watched the last star falling
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
Now she must live in hope and pray
For her love in Botany bay
For it's lonely round the fields of Athenry

What a wonderful song. It is so sad and means a lot. The Dubliners were an amazing Band. No one can come up to that standard again. My lovely Mother God rest her and My Father God rest him loved the Dubliners. God rest Ronnie Drew. Proud to be Irish.

[@2012Favourites]

this song is just so amazing! everytime i hear it i think of my grandad who died in 2004, simply because it was his favourite song, so it's now my ultimate favourite song. my uncle sang it at his funeral and i couldn't stop crying. I love you grandad, may you rest in peace now and forever more xxxxxxxxxxx

I just randomly found this and my old uncle from Ireland born in 1890 with seven brother and seven sisters would sing old Irish songs. He was the kindest man I ever knew, he always had a song or a jig in his step, never complained and he only took a swig of Whiskey or Irish Mist on holiday occasions. I didn't come here knowing I would be holding back tears today. America has become a land of lost souls, we all need to start signing again.

[@rabfallon4507]

He wasn't sing this then . This is a 1979 song 🤣

Two major famines, and many smaller, struck Ireland in 18th and 19th centuries . . . . The incredible hardship the fine people of Ireland have endured/suffered . . . .

My Great grandfather came to the U.S. in 1906. From the moment he arrived he was hated for being Irish. My last name should be McGonagall but the guy that processed him through customs couldn't spell it or understand his accent so he wrote "Smith" on every form.... so I could've had a beautiful last name but noooooo.... lol I love Ireland, having Irish blood (mixed German now). With the way my current country is headed, I wonder if Ireland would have me? Haha! God bless.

[@benmoxham18]

Great song!! Shame you are predictably Irish........Can't fucking spell.

[@missleecampbell1806]

Such a beautiful song. Pity some folk have such harsh comments on it sometimes. Obviously it has been adopted by others for different reasons and relates to folk In different ways. But It's a true heartfelt song with such a beautiful melody. Im Scottish so have Celtic routes along with the Irish folks. Wish everyone could just appreciate it as it was written.

[@missleecampbell1806]

+WFH WTEDG yes I do agree with you. I'm far flung so I look through rose tinted glasses. But I also do understand the problems the Irish folk had. My great gran was one of those that lived through the terrible times.

[@missleecampbell1806]

+WFH WTEDG and ps. I was talking about Celtic with a k. Not Celtic as in the football team.

[@missleecampbell1806]

+WFH WTEDG yep I get you on that aspect. Unfortunately there is always going to be nimrods that chant these things. Through pure ignorance . Brought up with no knowledge or understanding of what they are actually saying. Away from football I still love love this song. Annoyingly I've been criticised for being a "campbell" and liking it!!!!

@@missleecampbell1806 My ancestors would not have agreed on a cruel winters night in Glencoe but that was then, this is now. That was their time and this is ours.

I'm not "making up" for it nor "normalizing" it, you utter buffoon. Tell me what use it is begrudging English people who never had anything to do any of that? Blame the British government if you must, not the common man. The belligerent tribalism you exhibit is the reason places like Africa are total shitholes.

[@kevintoman9791]

@@Brickcellent first of all normalised is a diplomatic term so that was not an assertion against your character. Second as a socialist I have nothing against the British Proletariat but I don't thinl there should be any forgiveness for British aristocratic and bourgeois class interests that occupied, stole and exploited both the land and the people of Ireland. Secondly your assertion that Africa is bad because of tribalism does not hold up to water. The problems Africa faces today from a combination of four things, an incredibly violent and exploitative colonial period, a poorly planned and poorly executed process of decolonisation (cut and run) , the cold war hysteria causing the US to sponsor coups against anyone that either wanted communism or just simple self-sufficiency (Thomas Sankara (Burkina Faso) for the former, Patrice Lummumba (Democratic Republic of Congo) for the latter) and the neoliberal consensus being enforced upon countries that have no industrial base of production and does not allow these nations to address the huge amounts of capital and utilities still in the hands of the former imperialists.
