the patriot game - the irish brigade lyrics

Loading...

come all ye young rebels, come list while i sing
for the love of one’s country is a terrible thing
it banishes fear with the speed of a flame
and makes us all part of the patriot game

my name is o’hanlon, i’ve just turned sixteen
my home is in monaghan, that’s where i was weaned
and i was taught all my life time cruel england to blame
so now i am part of the patriot game

they told me how connolly was shot in the chair
his wounds from the fighting all bl**dy and bare

his fine body twisted, all battered and lame
it soon madе me part of the patriot game

this irеland of ours has for long been half free;
six counties still under john bull’s tyranny

so i gave up my childhood to drill and to train
and played my own part in the patriot game

it’s nearly two years since i wandered away
with the local battalion of the bold ira
sure i’ve read of our heroes, and i wanted the same
to play my own part in the patriot game
but now as i lie here, my body all holes
and i think of those traitors who bargained and sold
and i wish that my rifle had given the same
to those quislings who sold out the patriot game

come all you young rebels, come list while i sing
