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 Trevelyan's corn
So the young might see the morn
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay

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 so 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

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 so loney round the fields of Athenry

                When you walk through a storm

                Hold your head up high

                And don't be afraid of the dark.

                At the end of the storm

                There's a golden sky

                And the sweet, silver song of a lark.

               Walk on, through the wind,

               Walk on, through the rain,

               Though your dreams be tossed and blown.

               Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart,

               And you'll never walk alone,

               You'll never walk alone

              Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart,

              And you'll never walk alone,

              You'll never walk alone

It was far across the sea, when the devil got a hold of me
He wouldn't set me free, so he kept me soul for ransom
na na na na na...

I'm a sailor man from Glasgow town,
I've sailed this world around and round
He's the meanest thing that I have found
In all me days of wandering
na na na na na....

Here we go again, we're on the road again.
We're on the road again, we're on the way to paradise.
We love the jungle deep, that's where the lion sleeps
For then those evil eyes, they have no place in paradise
Graffiti on the walls, just as the sun was going down
I see graffiti on the walls - for the Celts! for the Celts!
Graffiti on the walls says we're magic, we're magic,
Graffiti on the wall.............................

It says oh ah up the 'RA, say ooh ah up the 'RA.

we went thru each jungle deep
for the paradise that we did seek
twas no trip for the weak
we're waltzing with the natives

Around in circles every way,
He turned to me and he did say,
"I think you're leading me astray,
I want your soul, me boyo!"
na na na na na

Here we go again, we're on the road again.
We're on the road again, we're on the way to paradise.
We love the jungle deep, that's where the lion sleeps
For then those evil eyes, they have no place in paradise

Graffiti on the walls, just as the sun was going down
I see graffiti on the walls - for the Celts! for the Celts!
Graffiti on the walls says we're magic, we're magic,
Graffiti on the wall.............................

It says oh ah up the 'RA, say ooh ah up the 'RA.

Let The People Sing


uk.youtube.com/watch


For those who are in love
There's a song that's warm and tender.
For those who are oppressed
In song you can protest.
So liberate your minds
And give your soul expression.
Open up your hearts,
I'll sing for you this song.

Let the people sing their stories and their songs
And the music of their native land
Their lullabies and battlecries and songs of hope and joy
So join us hand in hand
All across this ancient land
Throughout the test of time
It was music that kept their spirits free
Those songs of yours and of mine

It was back in ancient times,
The bard would tell his stories
Of the heroes, of the villain,
Of the chieftains in the glen.
Through Elizabethian time
And Cromwellian war and fury
Put our pipers to the sword,
Killed our harpers and our bards.

Let the people sing their stories and their songs
And the music of their native land
Their lullabies and battlecries and songs of hope and joy
So join us hand in hand
All across this ancient land
Throughout the test of time
It was music that kept their spirits free
Those songs of yours and of mine

Ireland, land of song,
Your music lives forever
In its valleys, in its mountains,
In its hills and in its glens.
Our music did survive
Through famine and oppression.
To the generations gone,
I'll sing for you this song.

This Land Is Your Land

uk.youtube.com/watch

This land is your land, this land is my land,
From the northern highlands to the western islands,
From the hills of Kerry to the streets of  Derry,
This land was made for you and me.

(Chorus)

As I was walking by the Shannon water,
Hand in hand with my little daughter,
The church bells ringing, and the children singing,
This land was made for you and me.

(Chorus)

So I walked her home by the old church steeple,
Proud of my country, proud of my people,
Of the men who tried there, of the men who died there singing,
This land is made for you and me.

(Chorus)

Then I climbed a mountain, saw the crystal fountain,
And heard a great roar from the rocky sea shore,
Her eyes were gleaming, she cried oho Daddy,
This land was made for you and me...

Aiden Mc Anespie

uk.youtube.com/watch


Twas on a Sunday evening the sun was in the sky
As he walked his way to the Gaelic pitch never thinking he was going to die
But as he crossed the checkpoint the sound of gunfire came
The news spread through the border town Aiden McAnespie was slain

For years he was harassed by the forces of the crown
As he went to his work every day he left his native town
The soldiers swore they´d get him the reason no one can say
And sure enough they murdered him in cold blood that sunny day

Oh why did you do it?
Have you not the guts to say
You say it was an accident or even a ricochet
But like Loughgall and Gibraltar you´re lies are well renowned
You murdered Aiden McAnespie on his way to the Gaelic ground

The people heard the gunfire they came from miles around
They saw that you man lying there dying on the ground
His flow of life was ebbing fast and people they tried their best
That bullet wound it was far to deep it went right through his chest

Oh why did you do it?
Have you not the guts to say
You say it was an accident or even a ricochet
But like Loughgall and Gibraltar you´re lies are well renowned
You murdered Aiden McAnespie on his way to the Gaelic ground

Aidens life had ended it was time for judgement day
The soldier he jumped down from the tower and the coward he slipped away
God´s curse on you Britannia for this cruel deed you´ve done
But god will have his final say when your judgement day it comes

Oh why did you do it?
Have you not the guts to say
You say it was an accident or even a ricochet
But like Loughgall and Gibraltar you´re lies are well renowned
You murdered Aiden McAnespie on his way to the Gaelic ground

To say it was an accident is the greatest crime of all
To his heart-broken family the worst had `er befalled
A cross it marks the lonely spot where Aiden was gunned down
As he strolled on that sunny evening on his way to the Gaelic ground

Oh why did you do it?
Have you not the guts to say
You say it was an accident or even a ricochet
But like Loughgall and Gibraltar you´re lies are well renowned
You murdered Aiden McAnespie on his way to the Gaelic ground

Broad Black Brimmer



uk.youtube.com/watch

There´s an uniform that´s hanging in what´s known as father´s room
An uniform so simple in his style
It has no braid of gold or silk no hat with feathered plume
Yet the mother has preserved it all the while
One day she made me try it on, a wish of mine for years
"In memory of your father, son" she said
And when I put the Sam Browne on she was smiling with the tears
As she placed the broad black brimmer on my head

It´s just a broad black brimmer with ribbons frayed and torn
By the careless whisk of many a mountain breeze
An old trench coat that´s battle stained and worn
And breeches almost threadbare at the knees
A Sam Brown belt with buckle big and strong
A holster that´s been empty many´s a day
When men claim Ireland´s freedom the one who'll choose to lead them
Will wear the broad black brimmer of the IRA

It was the uniform been worn by me father long ago
When he reached me mothers homestead on the run
It was the uniform me father wore in that little church below
When oul Father Mac he blessed the pair as one
And after truce and treaty and the parting of the ways
He wore it when he marched out with the rest
And when they bore his body down that rugged heather braes
They placed the broad black brimmer on his breast

Joe Mc Donnell


uk.youtube.com/watch



Oh me name is Joe mcDonnell from Belfast town I came,

That city I will never see again,

For in the town of Belfast I spent many happy days,

I loved the town in oh so many ways

For it's there I spent my childhood,and I found for me a wife,

I then set out to make for her a life.

Oh but all my young ambitions met with bitterness and hate,

I found myself inside a prison gate.

(chorus)

And you dare to call me a terrorist,while you look down your guns,

When I think of all the deeds that you have done.

You have plundered many nations,divided many lands,

You have terrorised our people,you ruled with your iron hand,

And you brought this reign of terror to my land.



Through those many months internment in the Maidstone and the Kesh

I thought about my land throughout those days,

Why my country was divided ,why I was now in jail,

Imprisoned without crime or without trial,

And although I love my country I am not a bitter man,

I've seen cruelty and injustice at first hand.

Then one cold and fateful morning I shook bold freedoms hand,

For right or wrong I tried to free my land.

(chorus)



Then one cold October's morning trapped in a lion's den

I found myself in prison once again,

I was committed to the H-Blocks for fourteen years or more,

On the blanket the conditions they were poor.

Then a hungerstrike we did commence for the dignity of man,

And it seemed to me that no-one gave a dam.

Oh but now I am a saddened man I have watched my comrades die,

If only people cared or wondered why.

(chorus)



Oh may God shine on you Bobby Sands for the courage you have shown,

May your glory and your name be widely known,

Then young Francis Hughes and Ray McCreesh who died unselfishly,

And Patsy O Hara and the next in line is me,

And those who lie behind me may your courage be the same,

And I pray to God my life is not in vain,

Oh but sad and bitter was the year of 1981,

When they think that we have lost and nothing won.

A Nation Once Again



uk.youtube.com/watch


When boyhood's fire was in my blood
I read of ancient freemen,
For Greece and Rome who bravely stood,
Three hundred men and three men;
And then I prayed I yet might see
Our fetters rent in twain,
And Ireland, long a province, be.
A Nation once again!

Chorus:

A Nation once again,
A Nation once again,
And lreland, long a province, be
A Nation once again!

And from that time, through wildest woe,
That hope has shone a far light,
Nor could love's brightest summer glow
Outshine that solemn starlight;
It seemed to watch above my head
In forum, field and fane,
Its angel voice sang round my bed,
A Nation once again!

(Chorus)

It whisper'd too, that freedom's ark
And service high and holy,
Would be prepared by feelings dark
And passions vain or lowly;
For, Freedom comes from God's right hand,
And needs a Godly train;
And righteous men must make our land
A Nation once again!

(Chorus)

So, as I grew from boy to man,
I bent me to that bidding
My spirit of each selfish plan
And cruel passion ridding;
For, thus I hoped some day to aid,
Oh, can such hope be vain?
When my dear country shall be made
A Nation once again!

Dirty Old Town

uk.youtube.com/watch


I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I Kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town
Dirty old town

Clouds are drifting across the moon
Cats are prowling on their beat
Spring's a girl from the streets at night
Dirty old town
Dirty old town

I Heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
I Smelled the spring on the smoky wind
Dirty old town
Dirty old town

I'm gonna make me a big sharp axe
Shining steel tempered in the fire
I'll chop you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old town
Dirty old town

I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Dirty old town

Molly Malone



uk.youtube.com/watch


1. In Dublin's fair city,
Where girls are so pretty,
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone,
As she pushed her wheelbarrow
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"!

Chorus:
Alive, alive oh! alive, alive oh!
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"!

2. Now she was a fishmonger,
And sure twas no wonder,
For so were her mother and father before,
And they each wheeled their barrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"!
Chorus:

3. She died of a fever,
And no one could save her,
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone.
Now her ghost wheels her barrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"!
Chorus:
