Hey, I heard what you said In sun and in showers,
We all must be fed.
All must be fed.
You wear yourself so steadily,
You’re ready for a fight
But in hell and high water
It helps to be right.
Helps to be right.
 
I don’t know the rules of this game,
And I don’t think I want to play.
I’ve seen your cards, and mine are the same
And if I come back, I won’t stay I burned all your letters I buried all your stones
The curses and the raptures, I kept them for my own
Oh say, how ’bout this instead?
Come by with some flowers and stay ’til they’re dead
Stay ’til they’re dead.
 
I don’t know the rules of this game, And I don’t think I want to play.
I’ve seen your cards, and mine are the same
And if I come back, I won’t stay Come by with some flowers, And stay til they’re dead.
Come by with some flowers, And stay ’til they’re dead.
 
Stay ’til they’re dead.
Stay ’til they’re dead.
Stay ’til they’re dead.

Paddy Reilly – The Fields of Athenry #IREvSCO

The Fields of Athenry

The Dubliners

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 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
