My son, I loved our native land with energy and pride Until a blight fell on the land and sheep and cattle died, The rents and taxes were to pay, I could not them redeem, And that's the cruel reason why I left Old Skibbereen. It's well I do remember on a bleak November's day, The landlord and his agent came to drive us all away; He set my house on fire with his demon yellow spleen And that's another reason why I left Old Skibbereen. Your mother, too, God rest her soul, lay on the snowy ground, She fainted in her anguish of the desolation round. She never rose, but went her way from life to death's long dream, And found a quiet grave, my boy, in lovely Skibbereen. It's well I do remember the year of forty-eight, When we arose with Erin's boys to fight against our fate; I was hunted through the mountains as a traitor to the Queen, And that's another reason that I left Old Skibbereen. Oh father dear, the day will come when vengeance loud will call And we'll arise with Erin's boys and rally one and all, I'll be tbe man to lead the van, beneath our flag of green, And loud and high we'll raise the cry," Revenge for Skibbereen!" @Irish @rebel @political @exile filename[ SKIBREEN play.exe SKIBREEN RG ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Snatch And Grab It, Snoopys Christmas, So Early In The Spring, Sodden Clods Are Coming To Town A New Years Carol, Solar Carol, Soldier Maid, Soldier Soldier Will You Marry Me, Soldiers, Solid Fas, Solidarity Forever, Solomon Island Anthem Text, Some Talk Of Ronald Reagan, Some Things Never Change, Somebodys Grandmother, Somebodys Tall And Handsome, Someday Soon, Somerset Wassail, Somewhere Over The Rainbow, Somewhere Overindulgence, Sommarbarn, Son De La Loma, Son Of A Gambolier, Song For A New Year, Song For Canada, Song For Ireland, Song From Lucifers Hammer, Song Of The Ada, Song Of The Classes, Song Of The Fishes, Song Of The Iron Road, Song Of The Seals, Song Of The Splintered Shillelagah, Song Of The Temperance Union, Sons Of Liberty, Soon One Mornin Death Come Creepin, Sorry The Day I Was Married, Sospan Vach The Little Saucepan, Souling Song, Sound Of Mucus, Sourwood Mountain, South Africa Anthem Text, South Africa Native Anthem Text, South Australia, South Street Waltz, Southrups Wassail Song, Sow Took The Measles, Spancil Hill, Spanish Is The Loving Tongue, Spanish Ladies, Spencer The Rover, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
