Skibereen - Dan McCabe

- O Father dear, I often hear you speak of Erin's Isle
Her lofty scenes, her 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.
O son, I loved my native land with energy and pride
'Til a blight came o'er my crops, my sheep and cattle died
My rent and taxes were too high, I could not them redeem
And that's the cruel reason that I left old Skibbereen.
O well do I remember the bleak December day
The landlord and the sheriff came to drive us all away
They set my roof on fire with cursed English spleen
And that's another reason that I left old Skibbereen.
And you were only two years old and feeble was your frame
I could not leave you with my friends, you bore your father's name
I wrapped you in my cothamore at the dead of night unseen
I heaved a sigh and bade good-bye to dear old Skibbereen.
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 found a quiet grave, my boy, in dear old Skibbereen.
O Father dear, the day may come when in answer to the call
Each Irishman, with feeling stern, will rally one and all
I'll be the man to lead the van beneath the flag of green
When loud and high, we'll raise the cry: "Remember Skibbereen!"

Masterful rendition
Amazing mate keep up the great work I love your voice you are one of the great singers
Alright Dan lad, hope you're keeping well. Mightn't see this but I'll give it a shot anyway. Is there a chance you could perform either Streets of New York or Ballad of Jack Larkin pls. For the second song there's only a snippet of samples on RUclips and with your voice would be unreal✌
Ive always asked him to do streets of new york but would be great to hear a full version of jack larkin on youtube! Both great songs

Dan,
I love to hear you sing "Liscannor Bay". It's such a beautiful song and I haven't heard any promotion of it other than a few local town singers. The song deserves more recognition and I really think your voice is made for it! Love to email you personally about it but I'm sure your busy enough as it is learning other songs.
That was brilliant Dan, thanks be to God the regular releases are back!
Brilliant 👏👏👏
I love it so much 😍
