[Eb] By [Bb] [Eb]
a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl [Bb] calling
[Eb]
Michael [Abm] they have taken [Bb] you away
[Ebm] Oh you stole Trevelyan's corn
[Eb] Stole the young [Bb] Mike's seed of morn
Now a prison ship lies waiting [Eb] in the bay
[Ab] Once [Eb]
[Cm] [Eb] we lost the [Bb] small Freedman's mine
Our [Eb] love was on [Ab] the way
We [Eb] had reasons to [Bb] understand
It's so lonely around the fields [Eb] of Bethlehem
[Bb] [Eb]
By a lonely prison wall [Ab] I heard a [Eb] young man [Bb]
calling
[Eb] Nothing [Ab] matters Mary [Bb] when you're free
Against [Eb] the feminine, [Ab] the crowd
[Eb] They [Bb] cut me down
Now you must raise a child with [Eb] dignity
[Ab]
Once [Eb] [Cm] [Eb]
we lost [C] the small [Bb] Freedman's mine
[Eb] Our love was [Ab] on the way
[Eb] We had reasons to [Bb] understand
It's so lonely around the fields of [Eb] Bethlehem

[Bb] [Eb]
By a lonely hobo wall
[Ab] She wants the last [Eb] stop
[Bb]
The [Eb] prison ship [Ab] sailed against [Bb] the sky
Joy, [Eb] sorrow, hate and hope [Ab] and pray
[Eb] For a life at [Bb] Barney Bay
It's so lonely around the fields
