[Eb]
[Bb]
By [Eb] a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl [Bb]
calling
[Eb]
Michael they [Ab] have taken you [Bb]
away For [Eb] you stole [Ab] Trevelyan's corn
[Eb] So the young might [Bb] see the morn Now a prison ship lies waiting in [Eb] the bay
[Ab] When
[Eb] [Cm]
[Eb] once we lost [Cm] the small free [Bb] birds of our
Our [Eb] love was [Ab] on the way
We [Eb] had dreams and songs [Bb] to say
It's so lonely around the pitiful [Eb] slumber lies
[Bb]
[Eb] By a lonely prison wall [Ab]
I heard a [Eb] young man [Bb]
calling
[Ebm]
Nothing [Ab] matters Mary when [Bb] you're free
Against [Eb] the famine [Ab] and the crown [Eb] I [Bb] run me down
Now you might raise a child with [Eb] the igniting
Once
[Ab] [Eb]
[Cm] [Eb]
we lost [Cm] the small free [Bb] birds of our
Our [Eb]
love was [Ab] on the way
We [Eb] had dreams and [Bb] songs to say
It's so lonely around the pitiful slumber [Eb]

By a lonely prison wall [Ab] she watched the last [Eb] of

Prison ships [Ab] sailed out against [Bb] the sky
Joy [Eb] shall wait and [Ab] hope and pray for [Eb] her love
[Bb] Rodney Bay it's so lonely
