    great game to end the championship. i think i'm still pissed and I have no nails left... cardiff was insane last night.

    "By a lonely prison wall,
    I heard a young girl call:
    "Michael, they have taken you away,
    For you stole Trevelyn'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 call
    "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 fall
    As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
    For she lived to 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."
