->Now all my young Dookies and Dutchesses\\
Take warning from what I've to say\\
Mind all is your own as you toucheses\\
Or you'll find us in Botany Bay

->''By a lonely prison wall\\
I heard a young girl calling\\
Micheal they are taking you away\\
For you stole Trevelyn's corn\\
So the young might see the morn.\\
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.\\
\\
(Chorus) 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 ran me down\\
Now you must raise our child with dignity.\\
\\
(Chorus)\\
\\
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.\\
\\
(Chorus)''
-->-- '''Music/PeteStJohn''', "The Fields of Athenry"

->''In Britain's Georgian times, there were so many crimes\\
No time to hang each crook guilty of a felony.\\
Cause there's no room to jail ya, they send you to Australia\\
To live in a new-fangled penal colony.\\
Think that sounds like heaven? In 1787,\\
It wasn't that kind of once-in-a-lifetime trip.\\
First we took the journey, months at sea so churny\\
Over forty died while they were on the ship!\\
\\
(...)\\
\\
Inmates' life still sucky, sucky sucky sucky,\\
Life behind bars was not very nice.\\
Hideous and messy,\\
Who would ever guess-y\\
This hell-hole would become a...\\
Holiday paradise?''
