goats don’t shave - the evictions كلمات أغنية
[intro]
lo in the wilds of donegal, where heather bloom is bred, ’round lake and cliff, on moor and mean, onto the mountains head. our cabin homes, our natal homes, our kindred’s homes were they. lie ruined by dominions of the spoiler of glenveagh
[verse 1]
my name it is sweeney a father of two sons i am
a collier tenant like many a true mountain man
my wife fell to famine and my heart will never repair
but worse was to come in the form of a john george adair
[verse 2]
the news in the valley a stranger had bought up the land
soon twenty_eight thousand acres he would command
but we were to learn that the blood in his body ran cold
for the suffering of the poor was john adair’s goal
[chorus]
the hills and the mountains know your name
the deer even hang their heads in shame
and even the longest winter’s rain
can’t wash away all the suffering and pain
of the evictions at derryveagh
[instrumental break]
[verse 3]
you swore on us lies, you had us arrested and jailed
for the murder of murray, your agent, but justice prevailed
but vengeance was feasting inside of your cold scottish heart
so the notice was given, people and land they must part
[verse 4]
one morning in april 1861
two hundred soldiers their bayonets shone in the sun
led by the sheriff they marched with the crowbar brigade
and a widow, six daughters, a son, first homeless were made
[chorus]
the hills and the mountains know your name
the deer even hang their heads in shame
and even the longest winter’s rain
can’t wash away all the suffering and pain
of the evictions at derryveagh
[instrumental break]
[verse 5]
two hundred and forty_four people made homeless that day
while john adair’s castle was planned for the shores of loch veagh
some to the poorhouse, some to australia’s shore
but all said goodbye to a homeland they’d see nevermore
[chorus]
the hills and the mountains know your name
the deer even hang their heads in shame
and even the longest winter’s rain
can’t wash away all the suffering and pain
of the evictions at derryveagh
[instrumental outro]
