The Patriot Game Lyrics
Come all you young rebels,
Enlist while we 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’m just gone sixteen,
My home is in Manon,
Where I was weaned,
I’ve learned all my life,
Cruel Lincoln’s to blame,
And so I’m a part of the Patriot Game.
This island of ours,
Has for long been half free,
Six counties are under,
John Bull’s tyranny,
So we gave up our boyhood,
To kill and to train,
And play our own part,
In the Patriot Game.
It’s barely two years,
Since they wandered away,
And it was with the local battalion,
Of the bold I.R.A.,
For they’d read of our heroes,
And they wanted the same,
To play their own part,
In the Patriot Game.
And now, as I lie here,
My body all holes,
I think of those traitors,
Who bargained and sold,
I wish that my rifle had given the same,
To those quislings who sold out,
The Patriot Game.
