Fields of Athenry:


By a lonely prison wall,
I heard a young girl calling
Michael, they have taken you away,
For you stole Trevelyan'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 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.

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 falling
As that prison ship sailed out against the sky
Sure she'll wait and hope and pray,
for her love in Botany Bay
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry.

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.

The Warrior's Code:


You're the fighter you've got the fire
The spirit of a warrior, the champion's heart
You fight for your life because the fighter never quits
You make the most of the hand you're dealt
Because the quitter never wins
No!

Den här versen gav Margith inspiration att kämpa och inte ge upp även om hon fick ta emot en och annan "left hook from hell".

Margith "in my mind". Kramar!

Ja, det här är några av Margiths - och mina - favoriter som dyker upp igen. Fields of Ahtenry och Wild Rover sjöng hon ju själv. The Warrior's Code är ju lite annorlunda - men hon tyckte om texten i den första versen. Den gav henne inspiration att kämpa och inte ge upp även om hon fick ta emot ett antal "left hooks from hell" sista året.
