Patriot Game

words and music by Dominic Behan

Come all ye young rebels, and list while I 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've just turned sixteen.
My home is in Monaghan, and where I was weaned
I learned all my life cruel England's to blame,
So now I am 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 two years 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 shoot down police
They are lackeys for war never guardians of peace
And yet at deserters I'm never let aim
The 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.

An Irishman, a Dutchman and an English man were in a pub in France.

The Dutchman complained about the price of beer: "Back home the beer is 3 euros and I can go upstairs and get sex for 10 euros."

The Englishman said, "That's nothing, At my pub it's a pound a pint and sex is 4 pounds.

The Irishman says: "Well down the street from my house is a pub where the drinks are free and you can have all the sex you want for free, too!"

The Dutchman and Englishman both looked at him like he was crazy. "Have you ever been to that pub?" The Englishman finally asked.

The Irishman replied: "Well no, not actually, but my sister has."

Don't bring the IRA into this thread!! They are terrorists, not Irishmen!!

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Well, as long as yer askin'......

I was introduced by a dear friend to one of Derry's finest, a Superintendent, QPM.

After 32 years of service, he was retiring. While I was there.

I got invited to the retirement do.

Never made it to the office the next day.

Seems to me that your own tag line brought the IRA and Sein Fein into it first, me bucko.

[RockinRight]

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

[Irish_Thatcherite]

HEHE!!

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Yes, to oppose them, not support them - big difference!

[SamKeck]

Yes, to oppose them, not support them - big difference!

Well, then. You brought them up first. You can hardly complain because I noted your political sentiments and responded to them, bucko. Would you preferred that I had posted the lyric to Wild Colonial Boy?

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Hehe.

That reminds me of a Paul McCartney song.

My drinking buddy is Irish (we started tonight - we both have off tomorrow for the holiday). I can hear him saying all these with his adorable brogue!

That sounds like a lot of fun! (and so does your buddy!)

I wished I had thought to take the day off, but hey, 5:00 will start soon enough...and so will the weekend!

Have a wodnerful St. Pat's Day!

[Irish_Thatcherite]

No, you could just post a song that doesn't mention the IRA.

And a tagline is hardly the same as a post.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

HEHE, of course!!

I'm having a Guinness right now, too.

Happy St. Patrick's Day , everybody.

A young man named Murphy applied for an engineering position at an Irish firm based in Dublin. An American also applied for the same job. Both applicants had the same qualifications were asked to take a test by the Department manager.

Upon completion of the test, both men had only missed one of the questions.

The manager went to Murphy and said, "Thank you for your interest, but we've decided to give the American the job."

Murphy said, "And why would you be doing that? We both got 9 questions correct. This being Ireland and me being Irish I should get the job!"

We have made our decision not on the correct answers, but on the question you missed," replied the manager.

And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?"

The manager said, "It's simple. The American answered 'I don't know' to question #5. You put down 'Neither do I.'"
