Iv listened to this song at least 100 times. I am still in tears listening as Irish man. This is a song that embodies reality for my poor ancestors who died in their droves.

I'm descended from Famine refugees on my father's side - my Farrell ancestors were from Longford, but family legend has it that my other ancestors were from somewhere in Cork. I cannot listen to this song without wondering if my great-great-great grandfather might have come from Skibbereen - if this song is describing some of the things he saw before he was thrown onto a coffin ship and dropped off in a new land that had no love for him. God keep you, Thomas Conboy - may the happiness of my life serve as your revenge for Skibbereen. I will keep you in my memory until the day I die.

This song gives a great context to explore the great famine in Ireland. The mass migration of the Irish from rural areas to urban areas changed the future of the Irish-Americans. The untold story of the British role in the Irish famine is very rarely explored in American history.
