Lyrics Skibbereen - COUNTDOWN
Oh,
father
dear
Well
I′ve
often
heard
You
speak
of
Aeryn's
Isle
Her
lofty
seams
Her
valleys
green
Her
mountains
rude
and
wide
They
say
it
is
a
lovely
land
Wherein
a
prince
might
dwell
Oh
why
did
you
abandon
it
Reason
do
we
tell
Oh,
son
I
loved
my
native
land
With
energy
and
pride
Till
the
blight
came
over
all
my
crops
My
sheep
my
cattle
died
My
rent
and
taxes
were
too
high
I
could
not
then
redeem
And
that′s
the
crule
reason
That
I
left
old
Skibbereen
Oh
and
well
do
I
remember
son
That
late
December
day
When
the
sheriff
and
the
landlord
came
To
drive
us
all
away
They
set
my
cottage
roof
on
fire
With
cursed
English
flame
And
that's
another
reason
That
I
left
old
Skibbereen
Oh
your
mother
too,
God
rest
her
soul
Lay
on
the
snowy
ground
She'd
fainted
in
her
anguish
Saw
the
desolation
′round
She
never
rose
but
passed
away
From
life
to
mortal
dreams
And
found
a
quiet
grave
my
boy
In
dear
old
Skibbereen
Oh
father
dear,
well
the
day
might
come
When
an
answer
to
the
call
Each
Irish
man
worth
feelin
strong
Will
rally
one
and
all
And
I′ll
be
the
man
to
lay
the
____?
Beneath
a
flag
of
green
And
loud
and
high,
will
you
hear
the
cry
Revenge
for
