[Intro]
G C G D G
[Verse 1]
Come all ye young rebels, and list while I sing,
For love of one's country is a terrible thing.
It banishes fear like the speed of a flame
And it makes you a part of the patriots game.
[Verse 2]
My name is O'Hanlon, I've just gone sixteen.
My home is in Monaghan, there I was weaned.
I been told all my life cruel England to blame,
G C G D G
So I am part of the patriots game.
[Verse 3]
'Tis barely two years since I wandered away
With the local battalion of the bold I-R-A,
I've read of our heroes, I've wanted the same,
For to play up my part in the patriots game.
[Verse 4]
This Ireland of ours has for long been half-free;
Six counties are under John Bull's tyranny.
And most of our leaders are greatly to blame
For shirking their part in the patriots game.
[Verse 5]
They told me how Connolly was shot in his chair,
His wounds from the battle all bleeding and bare.
His fine body twisted, all tattered and lame
They soon made me part of the patriots game.
[Verse 6]
G C G D G
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 patriots game.
