Oh no not the fields of Athenry If I hear it one more time I'm going to cry They should ban the flaming (bloody) thing There are far better songs to sing I'm so fed-up with the fields of Athenry By a lonely prison wall I heard a young man calling Mary why do you think that I'm in here I hit the singer with my shillelagh Now I'm bound for old Australie But no more I'll hear the fields of Athenry By a lonely harbour wall I heard a young girl calling To a prison ship and saying wait for me Won't you let me come along Before they start that blooming (bloody) song I'm so fed up with the fields of Athenry All rights reserved M.

You should come to Upton next month for the parody workshop I'm running with Helen Akitt - I think Malcolm Austen now has a ticket, which Moira bid for in the 7 Stars auction. Plus the Shellbacks are booked... Kitty |

Hearing you sing that was one of the single funniest moments of my life. It was my first impression meeting you, and it just got better after that! And it would be a fitting followup. Dani |

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 hid nearby Sniffer dogs were on my trail, 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 |

The copy Malcolm pointed to, which I rmembered, was posted by Fleetwood, but he didn't have an author's name. |
