Skibereen |
Oh, father dear, I ofttimes hear you speak of Erin’s Isle |
Her lofty scenes, her valleys green, her mountains rude and wild |
They say it`s a lovely land wherein a prince might dwell |
Then why did you abandon her, the reason to me tell |
My son, I loved my native land with energy and pride |
Then a blight came over all my crops and my sheep and cattle died |
The rents and taxes were to pay, I could not them redeem |
And that’s the cruel reason I left old Skibereen |
How well I do remember that bleak November day |
When the bailiff and the landlord came to drive us all away |
They set the roof on fire with their cursed English spleen |
And that’s another reason I left old Skibereen |
Your mother, too, God rest her soul, lay on the snowy ground |
She fainted in her anguishing seeing the desolation round |
She never rose, but passed away from life to immortal dreams |
And that’s another reason I left old Skibereen |
Oh you were only two years old and feeble was your frame |
I could not leave you with my friends for you bore your father’s name |
I wrapped you in my cota mor at the dead of the night unseen |
And I heved a sigh and I said goodbye to dear old Skibereen |
Oh father dear the day will come when on vengeance we will call |
And Irishmen both stout and tall will rally unto the call |
I`ll be the man to lead the van beneath the flag of green |
And loud and high we will raise the cry revenge for Skibereen |
