lirik lagu frank harte - skibbereen

[verse 1]
oh father dear, i oft~times hear you speak of erin’s isle
her lofty scenes and valleys green, her mountains rude and wild
they say it is a lovely land wherein a prince might dwell
oh why did you abandon it, the reason to me tell

[verse 2]
my son, i loved my native land with bold energy and pride
’til a blight came o’er the praties; my sheep and cattle died
my rent and taxes were to pay, i could not them redeem
and that’s the cruel reason why i lеft old skibbereen

[verse 3]
and well do i remеmber that bleak december day
when the landlord and the sheriff came to take for to drive our flocks away
they set my thatch on fire with their wicked evil spleen
and that’s another reason why, i left old skibereen

[verse 4]
your mother too, god rest her soul, fell on the snowy ground
she fainted in her anguish seeing the desolation ’round
she never rose but passed away from life to mortal dream
and we buried her in a quiet spot, not far from skibbereen

[verse 5]
and well do i remember, the year of ’48
when i arose with erin’s sons to fight against the state
i was hunted through the mountains as a traitor to the queen
and that’s another reason why, i left old skibbereen
[verse 6]
and 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
so i wrapped you in my cóta mór in the dead of night unseen
i heaved a sigh and said goodbye to dear old skibbereen

[verse 7]
oh father dear, the day will come when in answer to the call
each irishman with meaning stern will rally one and all
i will be the man to lead the band beneath the flag of green
and loud and high we’ll raise the cry, “revenge for skibbereen!”
