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.

The fields of Athenry is about the famine, a man steals food to provide
for his family and is sent to Botany Bay Australia on a prison ship.
