Tonart: F# minor•
Verse 1
F#m
Oh father dear, and I often hear
D
F#m
you speak of Erin's isle
D
A
Her lofty scenes, her valleys green,
F#m
her mountains rude and wild
D
A
They say it is a lovely land wherein a
F#m
prince might dwell
E
A
Then, why did you abandon it?
F#m
Oh, the reason to me, tell
Verse 2
D
My son, I loved my native land
F#m
with energy an d pride
D
A
'Til a blight came over all my crops
F#m
and my sheep and cattle died
D
A
The rents and taxes were to pay and I could
E
A
And that's the cruel reason I
F#m
left old Skibbereen
Verse 3
D
'Tis well do I remember the
F#m
bleak November day
D
When the bailiff and the land
A
F#m
lord came to drive us all away
D
A
They set the roof on fire with
F#m
their cursed English spleen
E
A
And that's another reason
F#m
I left old Skibbereen
D
Oh, your mother too, God rest her soul, lay on the snowy
Verse 4
F#m
ground
D
A
She fainted in her anguishing,
F#m
seeing the desolation 'round
D
A
She never rose but passed away from
F#m
life to immortal dreams
A
And that's another reason I
F#m
left old Skibbereen
Verse 5
D
Oh, you were only two years old
F#m
and feeble was your frame
D
A
I could not leave you with my friends
F#m
for you bore your father's name
D
A
I wrapped you in my cóta mór at the dead
F#m
of the night unseen
E
A
And I heaved a sigh and I said goodbye
F#m
to dear old Skibbereen
Verse 6
F#m
Oh well, father dear,
D
F#m
and the day will come when in vengeance we will call
D
A
All Irish men, both stout and tall,
F#m
will rally unto the call
D
A
I'll be the man to lead the band
F#m
beneath the flag of green
E
A
And loud and high, we'll raise the cry,
F#m
E
F#m
"Revenge for Skibbereen!"
