The Dubliners
앨범 : The Dubliners - The Definitive Transatlantic Collection

Come all ye young rebels and 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 it makes us all part of the patriot game
My name is O`Hanlon and I`ve just turned sixteen
My home is in Monaghan and where I was weaned
I learned all my life cruel England`s to blame
So now I am part of the patriot game
It`s nearly two years since I wandered away
With the local battalion of the bold IRA
For I read of our heroes and wanted the same
To play out my part in the patriot game
This Ireland of ours has too long been half free
Six counties lie under John Bull`s tyranny
But most of our leaders are greatly to blame
For shirking their part in the Patriot game
They told me how Connolly was shot in his chair
His wounds from the fighting all bloody and bare
His fine body twisted all battered and lame
They soon made me part of the patriot game
And now I am dying my body all holes
I think of those traitors who bargained in souls
I`m sorry my rifle has not done the same
To those Quislings who sold out the patriot game
