Lyrics:
Fields of Athenry (Pete St. John / Arr. Gothard Sisters)
By a lonely prison wall / I heard a young girl calling
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
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
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 struck me down
Now you must raise our child with dignity
CHORUS
By a lonely harbor wall / She watched the last star falling
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
For she'll live to hope and pray / For her love in Botany Bay
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry
CHORUS
It's the Little Things (by G. Gothard)
It's the little things that make a difference
Little things
It's the little things that make a difference
Be the change you wish to see in the world
Cat and the Fiddle (G. Gothard)
Good 'ol moonlight through the night
Keep it up, good work, shining bright
I've waited all day for my chance to play
I'll fiddle all night and I'll sleep all day
CHORUS
This old fiddle's seen every place
Miles on the road and dust on the case
Hey diddle diddle and a hop to the right
Like a cat with a fiddle in the pale moonlight
'Who' said the owl 'will watch with me
You and the moon and me make three
The dish and the spoon ran away last night
Hope the fork and the knife will be alright'
CHORUS
'Oh' said the mouse as she saw me there
If I was not so small new shoes I'd wear
I'd join that fiddler for a dance or two
I'd leap and I'd tap 'til he told me shoo'
CHORUS
CHORUS
