《The Patriot Game》歌词

[00:00:00] The Patriot Game - Patsy Watchorn

[00:00:08] Come all you young rebels

[00:00:12] And list while I sing

[00:00:15] For the love of one's country

[00:00:19] Is a terrible thing

[00:00:22] It banishes fear with

[00:00:25] The speed of a flame

[00:00:29] And it makes us

[00:00:30] All part of the patriot game

[00:00:37] My name is On Hanlon

[00:00:40] And I've just turned sixteen

[00:00:43] My home is in Monaghan

[00:00:47] And where I was weaned

[00:00:50] I learned all my life

[00:00:53] Cruel England's to blame

[00:00:58] So now I am part of the patriot game

[00:01:05] It's nearly two years

[00:01:07] Since I wandered away

[00:01:12] With the local battalion

[00:01:15] Of the bold IRA

[00:01:19] For I read of our heroes

[00:01:22] And wanted the same

[00:01:26] So now I'm my part

[00:01:29] In the patriot game

[00:01:33] This Ireland of ours has

[00:01:37] Too long been half free

[00:01:40] Six counties lie

[00:01:42] Under John Bull's tyranny

[00:01:47] I'm still De Valera is greatly to blame

[00:01:54] For shirking his part in the Patriot game

[00:02:02] They told me how Connolly

[00:02:05] Was shot in his chair

[00:02:08] His wounds from the fighting

[00:02:12] All bloody and bare

[00:02:16] His fine body twisted

[00:02:19] All battered and lame

[00:02:23] For playing his part

[00:02:26] Of the patriot game

[00:02:30] And now as I lie here

[00:02:34] My body all holes

[00:02:37] I think of those traitors

[00:02:41] Who bargained in souls

[00:02:44] And I wish that my rifle had given the same

[00:02:51] To those Quislings

[00:02:52] Who sold out the patriot game

[00:02:58] To those Quislings

[00:03:00] Who sold out the patriot game
