- the patriot game - gary og
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, where I was weaned.
I learned all my life cruel England to blame,
So now I am part of the patriot game.
This Ireland of ours has too long been half free;
Six counties lie under John Bull's tyranny.
But still De Valera is greatly to blame,
For shirking his 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.
It's nearly two years since I wandered away,
With the local battalion of the bold IRA,
I've read of our heroes, and I wanted the same,
To play out my part in the patriot game.
And now as I lie here, my body all holes,
I think of those traitors who bargained in souls,
And I wish that my rifle had given the same,
To those Quislings who sold out the patriot game.
without doubt one of the best songs sung by anyone fantastic
Respect from Scotland!!!
TIOCFAIDH AR LA
dito my republican friend
gary is the best singer when it comes 2 irish bands in the west of Scotland thirs no denying that
He's the best rebel singer ever in my opinion.
God bless the the volunteers of the Fermanagh Monaghan brigade of the P.I.R.A
dito my republican friend
By a country mile the best recorded version of this song to date. The fella on the whistle Paddy Campbell is brilliant as well
Yes this mans voice makes my heart stir I may have been born in the us due to my grandparents being ran out of there home land but believe they instilled in me a burning love for Ireland and I went alot growing up and still to this day I stir to fight a battle that's over
It tells the story of Fergal O'Hanlon, an IRA Volunteer from Ballybay, County Monaghan who was killed at the age of 20 in an attack on Brookeborough RUC barracks in County Fermanagh on 1 January 1957.
LYRICS
Come all you 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 turned sixteen.
My home is in Monaghan, where it's where weaned.
I learnt all my life cruel England to blame,
So now I am part of the patriot game.
They told me how Connolly was shot in his chair,
His wounds from the fighting all bleeding and bare.
His fine body twisted, all tortured and lame
They soon made me part of the patriot game.
It's barely two years since I wandered away,
With the local battalion of the bold IRA,
I've read of our heroes, and I wanted the same,
To play up my part in the patriot game.
And this Ireland of ours has for long been half free;
Six counties are under John Bull's tyranny.
So I gave up my boyhood, for to drill and to train
To play my own part in the Patriot game.
And now as I lie here, my body all holes
I think of the traitors who bargained and sold,
And I wish that my rifle had given the same,
To those bastards who sold out the patriot game.
So 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.
Yes it makes us all part of the patriot game
Still come to listen in 2021
Eternal favourite
Beautiful song
The partition was only ever ment to be a stepping stone! but have patience,regroup and TAL
Great version.
Here we go 👐 in row 🏆🍀🍻
Mon the hoops 🍀
best version. Saor Eire
@redtopc20xe when the big fellah came back from england with the whole partition thing he said it himself it wasnt perfect but it was a stepping stone towards freedom, i mean this guy basically won freedom for the country and de valera was just like nope not good enough time fro civil war
gmsm520 sorry totally disagree man,have no time for Collins or dev,look up men like tom Barry,Liam lynch,Rory O'Connor,Sean treacy to name a few these are the men who won us some freedom
true rebel
@gmsm520 totally agree mate, and if they never killed connelly the way they did, Ireland wouldn't be this way!
may i reccommend rebel sunday by damien quinn
Tune 🍀🇮🇪
i couldn't follow the song irish accent is quite thick still love it as sure as i love music
Michael Tanti Bellotti Gary Og is Scottish its a glaswegian accent.
Don’t know why all these singers and groups don’t sing The Patriot Game the way it was written by Dominic Behan. And still de Valera is greatly to blame.
irish anarchy again TAL
de valera is to blame, if he hadnt turned on collins i doubt the civil war would have happened and perhaps we would have gained the upper 6
Collins sold us out pall theres still 6 countys under british rule..our countys hes nothin but a traitor, Dev wasnt far off him either..he should have faught on like dan breen tom barry dan keating..he sold out everything those men fought for and many many more like them they where real men that faught for our freedom and not to be sold out by collins and what about the massacre in kilmainham!!! Of his own people!
Correct, and still De Valera is greatly to blame.
