[00:00:01] Written by：Heaney

[00:00:47] Oh

[00:00:47] Father dear

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

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

[00:01:02] Her lofty seams

[00:01:05] Her valleys green

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

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

[00:01:21] Where in a prince

[00:01:24] Might dwell

[00:01:28] Oh why did you

[00:01:32] Abandon it

[00:01:37] No reason to

[00:01:41] We tell

[00:01:45] Oh son I loved

[00:01:49] My native land

[00:01:53] With energy

[00:01:57] And pride

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

[00:02:07] My sheep

[00:02:09] My cattle died

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

[00:02:20] I could not then

[00:02:23] Redeem

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

[00:02:31] Reason

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

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

[00:02:46] Remember son

[00:02:50] That late December day

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:25] Reason

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

[00:03:36] Oh your mother too

[00:03:39] God rest her soul

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

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

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

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

[00:04:10] From life

[00:04:11] To mortal dream

[00:04:17] And found a quiet

[00:04:21] Grave my boy

[00:04:25] In dear old Skibbereen

[00:04:33] Oh father dear

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

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

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

[00:04:51] Will rally one

[00:04:54] And all

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

[00:05:02] Beneath a flag

[00:05:05] Of green

[00:05:08] And loud and high

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

[00:05:16] Revenge

[00:05:18] For Skibbereen
