Come all you young rebels and list while I sing For love of one's land is a terrible thing It vanishes fear like the speed of a flame And it makes us a 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've learned all my life cruel England's to blame And so I am part of the patriot game. It's barely two years since I wandered away With a local battalion of the bold IRA I've read of our heroes and I've wanted the same So I am a part of the patriot game. This Ireland of ours has for long been half free Six counties are under John Bull's tyranny And yet of our allies 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 battle all bleeding and bare I'm sorry my rifle had not done the same For the Quislings who sold out the patriot game. And now as I lie here, my body all holes I think of those traitors who bargained and sold I'm sorry my rifle had not done the same For the Quislings who sold out the patriot game.
Well done, Luke! ♥ Thanks for sharing this! I knew it was a great song but it's a first time I heard it and it was with such a lovely version. Thank you

Come all you young rebels and list while I sing
For love of one's land is a terrible thing
It vanishes fear like the speed of a flame
And it makes us a 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've learned all my life cruel England's to blame
And so I am part of the patriot game.
It's barely two years since I wandered away
With a local battalion of the bold IRA
I've read of our heroes and I've wanted the same
So I am a part of the patriot game.
This Ireland of ours has for long been half free
Six counties are under John Bull's tyranny
And yet of our allies 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 battle all bleeding and bare
I'm sorry my rifle had not done the same
For the Quislings who sold out the patriot game.
And now as I lie here, my body all holes
I think of those traitors who bargained and sold
I'm sorry my rifle had not done the same
For the Quislings who sold out the patriot game.
Beautiful
Well done, Luke! ♥
