Skibbereen - Chilled Celtic Masters[00:00:00]
Oh Father dear we'll ofttimes heard you speak of Erin's Isle[00:00:46]
Her lofty scenes her valleys green her mountains rude and wild[00:01:02]
They say it tis a lovely land where in a saint might dwell[00:01:15]
Oh why did you abandon it the reason to me tell[00:01:28]
Oh son I loved my native land with energy and pride[00:01:45]
'Til a blight came over on my croes my sheep my cattle died[00:02:00]
My rent and taxes were so high I could not them redeem[00:02:14]
And that's the cruel reason that I left old Skibbereen[00:02:27]
Oh when well do I remember song that bleak December day[00:02:42]
When the sheriff and the landlord came to drive us all away[00:02:57]
They set my car take you roof on fire[00:03:09]
With their cursed English spleen[00:03:15]
And that's another reason that I left old Skibbereen[00:03:21]
Oh your mother too God rest her soul[00:03:36]
Lay on the snowy ground[00:03:43]
She fainted in her anguish seeing the desolation all round[00:03:50]
She never rose but passed away from life to immortal dream[00:04:04]
I'm found a quiet grave my boy in dear old Skibbereen[00:04:17]
Oh father dear we'll the day will come when answer to the call[00:04:33]
All Irish men of Freedom Stern will rally one and all[00:04:46]
And I'll be the man to lead the band beneath the flag of green[00:04:57]
And loud and high we'll raise the cry[00:05:09]
Revenge for Skibbereen[00:05:16]
