Does anyone have the words to the wonderful Les Barker version of Fields of Athenry?

this has been covered in many other threads...

Les Barker produces books of words for a living.

If you want the words: BUY THE FUCKING BOOK!

Support the man

Sorry for getting so angry, but it's true

Learn to use a search engine, get a piece of plastic out of your pocket, it will be yours....

Can't say fairer than that?

Angel, please go to the following site, which I found by using the Digitrad search engine located on the Mudcat site. I can't say this is the version you want, but it is a start.

FIELDS OF ATHENRY (alternative version)

[e-mail] will get you to him. Ask him nicely and he'll tell you which album it's likely to be on...

Or request it at Sidmouth, he'll do it at Towersey!

1. I don't like abuse and never abuse others. Don't abuse me. 2. Yes, I know Les Barker makes a living from his work. Did I ask anyone to rip him off? No, I simply asked if anyone knew where the words are. 3. It turns out not to be Les Barker. Thanks, Micca. 4. This just reminds me why I left Mudcat. All you abusers - well done. I was hoping I could post a thread without being made to wince for once. You proved me wrong. This used to be a geat place. Goodbye.

Please don't go because there is one moron out there with no manners....

Bet you anything you like GUEST flamer has bootleg cassettes and stuff at home..... so let he who is sinless etc....

There have been other threads about this version (if it is the 'Oh no, not the fields...' one), and if I'd been thinking, it would have been obvious to me that that was the one you wanted. Les has been known to speak less than enthusiastically about the aforementioned song, but now I think of it, I can't remember him writing about any of it.

I've been driven over it, if that's any comfort....

See you again?
