Then why not try the chorus backwards: Same tune just different word order. Can make sense after a few jars. Athenry of fields, the lie low! Fly birds free small, the watched we once where. Wing the on was love our Sing to songs and joy had we Athenry of fields, the round lonely so tis Athenry of fields, the round lonely so tis Gether to all, time more one, lads now! or (in Ulster) Gether to all, time more one, lads noi! |

I've spent the grant from the E.E.C. And the farmers got his knickers in a twist Down by the five bar gate, I heard the farmer stating Albert, I will break you're ruddy neck The cows have all got out, and the milkmaids up the spout You've turned my brand new tractor into a wreck Beside the old dung heap, I saw the policemen creeping They were searching for my stash I'd hid nearby Sniffer dogs were on my trail, and I'd soon be heading for jail It's so lonely hiding in the fields of wheat & rye Low lie the fields of wheat & rye Where once we shot small birds up on high We shot them as they flew, then we put them into a stew Or else we ate them in a crusty pie |

There was a time -- in a place I had a regular night -- I could have sung your version, people would have been silent and serious, and then told me how beautiful it was. They weren't drunk either. Just that mostly people hear what they want to. Cheers, Joy |
