SOLsus SIm
My Name it is Sweeney a father of two sons I am,
RE DOadd9 SOLsus
I'll courier tenants like many a true mountain man,
SOLsus SIm
My wife fell to famine and my heart will never repair,
RE DOadd9 SOLsus
But worse was to come in the form of a John George a'Dare.
The news in the valley a stranger had bought all the land,
Soon twenty eight thousand aces he would command,
But we were to learn that the blood in his body ran cold,
For the suffering of the poor was John a'Dare's goal.
Chorus
MIm DO SOL
The Hills and the mountains know your name,
MIm DO SOL
The deer even hang their heads in shame,
MIm DO SOL
and even the longest winters rain,
MIm DO SOL
Can't wash away for the suffering and pain,
DO RE SOL
Of the Evictions at Derryveagh.
