Here are the words of the alternative version that is sung in Fleetwood, UK288 FIELDS OF ATHENRY (alternative version)
By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling
Michael they are singing it again
If I hear it one more time, I think I'll loose my mind
I'm so fed up with the Fields of AthenryOh no the Fields of Athenry
If I hear it one more time, I think I'll die
It's such a boring song it goes on and on and on
I'm so fed up with the Fields of AthenryFrom within the prison wall I heard a young man calling
Mary why do you think I'm here
In here we all agree transportation'll set us free
Free from the Fields of AthenryBy a lonely harbour wall, I saw the last star falling
As the prison ship sailed out against the tide
Hold on that girl did say I'm coming with you to Botany Bay
To escape from the Fields of Athenry
