My father also sang this one.
Third Verse:

Oh well do I remember that cold December day
The Landlord and the Sheriff came to drive us all away
They set the roof on fire with their cursed English spleen
And that's another reason why I left Ould Skibereen.

Many's the time he lined us up against the wall to sing that one.
