SKIBBEREEN

It's well I do remember on a bleak November's day,
The landlord and his agent came to drive us all away;
He set my house on fire with his demon yellow spleen
And that's another reason why I left Old Skibbereen.

That's how it's given in the DT. Elsewhere, as in this recording, it is set in December.
