@angelambarry she was one of the best singers I ever heard,and did lots of work for republican prisoners in Northern Ireland ,shehas a couple of great Cds out there
"Now I am dying, my body all holes I think of those traitors who bargained and sold I'm sorry my rifle has not done the same For the Quislings who sold out the patriot game" Thinking about this song after seeing shinners at the coronation, after all the martyrs for a free Ireland for their movements to end up like this.
for me this is the journey he goes on as the song progresses. he turns into a patriot and exactly the sort of person he laments at the start of the song.
@@henrikpersson4698 hmm maybe, I feel like that it's saying even if you are a patriot,that just because someone else cares about your country, doesn't mean they care about you. It's a terrible thing because it's powerful, it can be good as well but it can be abused
@@Tn49532 That is not the point, it’s about singing the song the way it was written. If you don’t agree, plenty of other people’s songs to sing. Behan was forthright and let it been known that he didn’t want people changing the words of his song, to appease de Valera and his Political Party.
de Valera and Collins were both traitors who turned against the true Republicans for their own glory, fame and chance of power. Under Collins IRA men were executed and under Dev they were as well.
@@cathanmccann1769 Yes you could probably see it that way, there were wrongs done on both sides. The point is that the words of The Patriot Game was changed to appease de Valera😕.
@@irishlad4972 fair play to you Irish lad the other fella doesn't recognise the Syrian flag and the opposition flag is two different colours the opposition flag is green white and black with three stars
These songs record real history.
Should never be forgotten. People who fought & died for justice will never be forgotten.
So many heroe's, so many great singers.

@@pjdun3444 I find her voice quite haunting and very distinct. I’m going to find out more about her life. Thank you so much for the information 👍👍
News headlines made me think of this song. Seems just as applicable today
Sadly you are right.

No photograph of Seán Garland I see!
Bellissima canzone, anche oggi estremamente attuale….e non soltanto in Irlanda.

I wish these singers and groups would sing Behan’s words. And still de Valera is greatly to blame 😕.
DON'T agree dev did what he could
