453. The Patriot Game (Dominic Behan)

[CrimsonEmpire]

so is this supposed to be a sort of bluegrass classic rock country irish traditional fusion or something? Great cover!

[raymondcrooke]

@CrimsonEmpire Just the Irish part I think. Thanks for watching.

[18thDailEireann]

Another brilliant cover. The Irish Republican Internet Defence Force Volunteers are some of your biggest fans.

[raymondcrooke]

[ashleyd16k]

Wow! I love this!

I used to listen to this song all the time with my grandma :)

Kingston Trio. Fun times. Good memories. This video brought it all back.

You should sing some loyalist songs to sort of balnce out the equation?

[vmoranfox]

I don't do tabs, but the lyrics and chords of all my songs are on my website: raymondcrookeDOTcom

If you can find the tabs for "With God On Our Side" it should be the same as for this song.

Dylan was well known for "borrowing" from other writers.

[herebesmewa]

I left this comment before, but youtube hates me, haha; I was wondering if you could do "The Government Game" for me, it has the same air as the patriot game, but the words are different: Its about resettlement in Newfoundland, I think its a nice song. If youre interested drop me a line, and i'll send you the lyrics..

[raymondcrooke]

I've had a look at the lyrics, and will consider doing it. Should be easy enough as I've already put up two songs with this tune!

[blinddrunkal]

Great to hear this song again in such a fine version as well. Dominic Behan is a much neglected songwriter and performer I think.

[catalpa]

Good stuff Raymond, the G' in Monaghan is silent, so it's pronounced Monahan.

Just a little pointer for the future.

[Stardomproductions]

well played

[lewdite]

This is a beautiful song and one that I am familiar with because of Tommy Makem & the Clancy Brothers who I saw on stage here in Montreal three times back in the 60's. I was not aware of their "watering down."
