Patriot Game(Live at Carnegie Hall, New York, NY - March 17, 1963) - The Clancy Brothers/Tommy Makem
作曲:Traditional
Come all you young rebels
And list' while I sing
For the love of one's country is a terrible thing
It banishes fear with the 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 Monohan
Where I was weened
I've learned all my life through
When England to blame
And so I'm a part of the patriot game
It's barely two years since I wondered away
With the local battalion of the bold i-r-a
I've read of our heroes and I've wanted the same
To play out my part in the patriot game
This Ireland of ours has for long been half free
Six counties are under john bull's tyranny
So I gave up my boyhood 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 those treasures
Who bargained and sold
I wish that my rifle had given the same
To those quislings who sold out the patriot game
