^GCome all ye young ^C9rebe^Gls, and l^Dist while I si^Gng, For the lo^C9ve of one's cou^Gntry is a te^Bmrrible thi^Gng. It banis^C9hes f^Gear wi^C9th the spee^Bmd of a flam^Ge, And it makes us all p^C9art o^Gf the pat^Driot ga^Gme.

^GMy name is O'H^C9anlo^Gn, and I've j^Dust turned sixtee^Gn. My h^C9ome is in ^GMonag^C9han, and wh^Bmere I was ^Gweaned I lea^C9rned all my l^Gife ^C9cruel En^Bmgland's to ^Gblame, So now I am pa^C9rt ^Gof the pa^Dtriot gam^Ge.

^GThis Ireland of ou^C9rs h^Gas too lo^Dng been half fr^Gee. Six co^C9unties lie u^Gnd^C9er John B^Bmull's tyra^Gnny. But st^C9ill De Va^Gle^C9ra is gr^Bmeatly to bl^Game For shirking his p^C9art ^Gin the Pa^Dtriot gam^Ge.

^GThey told me how C^C9onno^Glly was s^Dhot in his ch^Gair, His wo^C9unds from the fi^Ggh^C9ting all blo^Bmody and ba^Gre. His f^C9ine body tw^Gis^C9ted, all bat^Bmtered and l^Game They soon made me pa^C9rt ^Gof the pa^Dtriot gam^Ge.

^GIt's nearly two ye^C9ars ^Gsince I wa^Dndered aw^Gay With the lo^C9cal batt^Gal^C9ion of the b^Bmold IR^GA, For I re^C9ad of our h^Ger^C9oes, and w^Bmanted the s^Game To play out my pa^C9rt ^Gin the pa^Dtriot game^G.

^GAnd now as I l^C9ie h^Gere, my b^Dody all hol^Ges I th^C9ink of those tr^Gai^C9tors who ba^Bmrgained in so^Guls And I wi^C9sh that my ^Gri^C9fle had g^Bmiven the sa^Gme To those Quislings who so^C9ld ^Gout the p^Datriot gam^Ge.
