		SKIBBEREEN O, Father dear, I ofttimes heard you talk of Erin's Isle, Her valleys green, her lofty scene, her mountains rude and wild; You said it was a pleasant place wherein a prince might dwell, Why have you then forsaken her, the reason to me tell?
		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.
		Your mother, too, God rest her soul, lay on the snowy ground, She fainted in her anguish of the desolation round.

		(The one-way system in Skibbereen means we go left at the roundabout, right at the next junction and then take the first left on the North Street).
		Note: Instead of walking the lakeside route, you can drive it but the road is narrow and the final bit to the pier is very narrow.
