Skibbereen - Gerry Heaney[00:00:00]

Written by：Heaney[00:00:01]

Oh[00:00:47]

Father dear[00:00:47]

Well I've often heard[00:00:50]

You speak of Aeryn's Isle[00:00:55]

Her lofty seams[00:01:02]

Her valleys green[00:01:05]

Her mountains rude and wide[00:01:08]

They say it is a lovely land[00:01:15]

Where in a prince[00:01:21]

Might dwell[00:01:24]

Oh why did you[00:01:28]

Abandon it[00:01:32]

No reason to[00:01:37]

We tell[00:01:41]

Oh son I loved[00:01:45]

My native land[00:01:49]

With energy[00:01:53]

And pride[00:01:57]

Till the blight came over all my crops[00:02:00]

My sheep[00:02:07]

My cattle died[00:02:09]

My rent and taxes were too high[00:02:14]

I could not then[00:02:20]

Redeem[00:02:23]

And that's the crule[00:02:27]

Reason[00:02:31]

That I left old Skibbereen[00:02:34]

Oh and well do I[00:02:42]

Remember son[00:02:46]

That late December day[00:02:50]

When the sheriff and the landlord came[00:02:57]

To drive us all away[00:03:03]

They set my cottage roof on fire[00:03:09]

With cursed at English flame[00:03:15]

And that's another[00:03:21]

Reason[00:03:25]

That I left old Skibbereen[00:03:28]

Oh your mother too[00:03:36]

God rest her soul[00:03:39]

Lay on the snowy ground[00:03:43]

She'd fainted in her anguish[00:03:50]

Saw the desolation 'round[00:03:57]

She never rose but passed away[00:04:04]

From life[00:04:10]

To mortal dream[00:04:11]

And found a quiet[00:04:17]

Grave my boy[00:04:21]

In dear old Skibbereen[00:04:25]

Oh father dear[00:04:33]

Well the day might come[00:04:36]

When an answer to the call[00:04:40]

Each Irish man worth feelin' strong[00:04:46]

Will rally one[00:04:51]

And all[00:04:54]

And I'll be the man to lay the ban[00:04:57]

Beneath a flag[00:05:02]

Of green[00:05:05]

And loud and high[00:05:08]

Will you hear the cry[00:05:12]

Revenge[00:05:16]

For Skibbereen[00:05:18]
