Intro :                       
 
 
Come   all ye young   rebe  ls, and l  isten while I s  ing,    
For the   love of one's   coun  try 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 just was weaned
I learned all my life cruel England's to blame,
So now I 'm a 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 a year since I wandered away
With the local battalion of the bold IRA,
For I read of our heroes, and wanted the same
To play out my part in the patriot game.
 
 
I don't mind a bit if I shot down police
They are lackeys for war, never guardians of peace
And yet at deserters I'm never let aim
Those rebels who sold out 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.
