Michael Collins sings Dear Old Skibbereen

Liam Neeson as the Irish revolutionary is asked to sing a traditional folk song about the potato famine & Young Irelander Rebellion of 1848, focused on a village in County Cork, where he was from. Directed by Neil Jordan, the 1996 biopic was the highest grossing film ever in Ireland upon its release, and topical as it's the Easter Rising 100th anniversary this year. Aidan Quinn & Julia Roberts also in scene.
Verse lyrics: 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 their cursed foreign spleen
And that's another reason why I left old Skibbereen
