The Kingston Trio

The Kingston Trio is an American folk and pop music group that helped launch the folk revival of the late 1950s to late 1960s. The group started as a San Francisco Bay Area nightclub act with an original lineup of Dave Guard, Bob Shane, and Nick Reynolds. It rose to international popularity, fueled by unprecedented sales of 33⅓ rpm long-playing record albums (LPs), and helped to alter the direction of popular music in the U.S. more »

Billy Behen
Come all you young rebels and list while we 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'Hannon and I've just gone sixteen
My home is in Monaghan where I was weaned
I've learned all my life cruel England's to blame 
And so I'm a part of the patriot game

It's barely two years since they wandered away 
And it was with the local battalion of the bold IRA
For they'd read of our heroes and they wanted 
The same to play their own part in the patriot game

This Ireland of ours has for long been half-free
Six counties are under John Bull's tyranny
So, we gave up our boyhood to drill 
And to train and play our own part in the patriot game

And now as I lie here, my body all holes
I think of those traitors who bargained in souls
I wish that my rifle had given the same 
To those Quislings who sold out the patriot game
