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

How about all you sods quit telling eachother what you are and what they are not. If you are ready to embrace Irish culture and the pride that comes with it, you are more than welcome in my eyes. Ireland is a home away from home for a lot of people due to important historical events, so stop your puritan fuckery. To all the names long lost: Tá fáilte romhaibh!

You merely adopted Irish heritage, I was born in it, raised in it, moulded by it!

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.

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 landNow on guilt you kneelAnd say a prayer for those left behindFrom beyond the pale to the Northern skySo you saved your shillins and your last six penceCause in God`s name they built a barbed wire fenceBe glad you sailed for a better day

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
