i can remember my Daideó singing this song but to diffrent lyrics if i remember right it went something like this but am going back nearly 40yrs for when i was a wee man
By a lonely prison wall
I heard a sweet voice calling,
"Danny, they have taken you away.
For you stole Travelian's corn,
That your babes might see the morn,
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay."

Chorus
Fair lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small freebirds fly.
Our love grew with the spring,
We had dreams and songs to sing
As we wandered through the fields of Athenry.
Ritheann fear buile trí thuile go dána, ach is minic thug tuile fear buile le fána

He must have been a clairvoyant

The song was written in 1979 by the very lively and still very much alive Mr Pete St.John

We need something to rival the French
