Appreciate hearing this version with the original lyrics. People are of course most familiar with Liam Clancy's version which had some modifications (like eliminating the DeValera reference), and I understand why Liam made the modifications. But it's good to hear Dominic Behan's original lyrics from time to time. And of course few could sing a rebel song like Luke...
Liverpool the ‘Cemetery of Ireland’ was a part of the patriot game and with planned destruction of culture we forgot the politics of it all. That’s why we’re scouse not English because we can’t be anything else 💚💚 TP O’Connor was part of the patriot game
The English don't hate the scouse, they wish they were them. The term English is as real as the Easter bunny getting caught shagging a leprechaun! Both not real, but still a certain truth. No surrender to the no surrenders, and God bless Liverpool 🙏🏻🇮🇪
My greatest fear is the history and music of our country will be lost on the generations who come after us. I Live in the USA but grew up in Donegal and learned this music and history from my father who has since gone. And I look at the generations who have come since and see no one who is willing to carry on the traditions or tell the history. God Bless for posting this. Tiocfaidh ár lá
Its so true, we must never lose our history and traditions. we must maintain the values of our fathers gone before us and instil these in our children and children's children,. We must never forget the struggles and sacrif ices made by our brave men and women to give us the freedom we have today. ☘☘☘☘💚💚🤍🤍💛💛
My nephews are traditional Irish musicians born to an Irish father from Limerick and an Irish/ Norwegian mom. They play flute, pipes, guitar, mandolin and bouzouki. One of them won the Sean O’Riada gold medal for flute. Trad Irish music is flourishing in America. It isn’t going anywhere. It’s here to stay.
Regarding Bob Dylan's "use" of the melody of "The Patriot Game" (which Dylan later copyrighted along with the his own written "With God On Our Side" lyrics, in the early 1960s), Dominic Behan wrote a letter to me from Lanark, Scotland on January 31, 1976, in which Dominic Behan stated the following: "Thank you for the interest you are showing in my song, "The Patriot Game". Some years ago I tried to get Dylan to settle the matter as one artist to another. I rang him at an hotel in London where he had been living then. Dylan's reaction was that I didn't have the resources to take any legal action against him, and he therefore replied, `Get lost, bum! The songs I write make other people's attempts at art good.' "Mr. Dylan was, of course, correct in his view of my financial state. I couldn't take him to court, and, my publishers in America, "The Richmond Organisation,' think the whole matter too costly and not worth the candle. "I wrote the song (words and music) on the 1st January, 1957, after Feargal O'Hanlon had been shot dead the night previously. "Thanks very much for your interest, though, when dealing with folk as ruthless as Mr. Dylan, I doubt if you and the other honest people around can do a lot of good. "Thanks anyway and best wishes, "Dominic Behan."
It’s probably worth pointing out that Dominic Behan himself borrowed the melody from the older tune “The Merry Month of May”, so Dylan basically applied the same free-for-all rules of the folk tradition when he came up with With God On Our Side. His song Restless Farewell, from the same album, also bears more than a passing resemblance to The Parting Glass too. I suppose the main issue is this “folk tradition” feels less innocuous when a famous American songwriter is borrowing melodies and being called a genius for it.
@@nellypringle2875 If you check out the film footage of the early 1960s Newport Film Festival at which Dylan first sang his "With God On Our Side" lyrics version of Dominic Behan's "The Patriot Game", you'll notice that before singing Dylan then mentioned that song was based on Dominic Behan's earlier folk song. Only in later years, however, was it later claimed by some writers that Dominic had no right to claim Dylan had unethically claimed copyright of melody because tune was allegedly based on "The Merry Month of May." And with respect to some other early Dylan melodies that were copyrighted and used to obtain individual monetary royalties,: If you check out some of the "Bob Dylan" songbooks that were first published in the early 1960s, you'll notice that the authorship of the "words and MUSIC" of the songs included in the songbooks are claimed by "Bob Dylan" and copyrighted by Dylan and his publisher. Yet as Micharel Gray noted in his 2006 book, The Bob Dylan Encyclopedia: "In Patrick Humphries' 1984 interview with the Clancys, Paddy [Clancy] suddenly offers this...story about Dylan..: `You want to know where Dylan got his stuff? There was a little folk club here in London, down in the basement; we sang in it one night...Anyway, Al Grossman paid somebody and gave them a tape-recorder, and every folk-singer that went up there was taped, and Bob Dylan got all those tapes...' And Liam [Clancy] agrees with this, adding: `Yes, and the tune of `Farewell] [a song Dylan copyrighted in 1963 and is included in his official songbooks]...whoever was singing harmony was closer to the mike than the guy singing melody, and when [Dylan] wrote his version, he wrote it to the harmony not the melody line.' "...The songs he probably took specifically from hearing the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem performing live are: the traditional `Brennan on the Moor,' which becme his `Rambling Gambling Willie' [copyrighted 1962]..' the traditional `The Parting Glass', which mutated into `Restless Farewell'...and the...tune Dominic Behan used for his song `The Patriot Game', which the Clancys sang and from which Dylan...created `With God On Our Side.' What also seems to be not mentioned much in 2024 corporate media music reporting circles is that following the Israeli war machine's attack on Lebanon in 1982, Dylan wrote and recorded a song "Neighborhood Bully" whose lyrics seemed to express support for the Israeli military actions at that time.
@@protestfolk Irish tunes get used and reused all the time, don’t they. The melody to Patrick Kavanagh’s Raglan Road is an old celtic tune called Dawning of the Day (I seem to remember Sean Cannon once sang that rather beautifully with The Dubliners at Newcastle City Hall); I was playing my kids a funny Ronnie Drew-led bit of craic called “Seven Deadly Sins” the other day and realised the funeral drinking song “Roisin the Bow” was exactly the same melody; Ewan McColl’s “My Little Son”, excellently sung by Luke Kelly, is the same tune as the earlier “Tramps and Hawkers”, also sung beautifully by Luke on an early Dubs record. As for Dylan, it’s obvious how much influence the Clancys had on him (he’s on record as being a fan of The Dubliners too - and small wonder). We (the kids and I) watched Inside Llewyn Davis again at Christmas and I noticed there’s a Dylan track on the end that’s basically a rewrite of Leaving of Liverpool. I’ve got no interest in attempting to read him as some kind of militant zionist though.😄✌️ Anyway, I really like this version of Luke’s. I liked Bob Lynch’s version too on the second Dubliners album. RIP Luke and Bob.

He looks so young. This must be taken in the very early 1960ies.

Don't worry Sean, they will never be forgotten.

No fear of that Sean, I live in Melbourne, Australia and all my friends know these rebel songs.
So the film Patriots Game, was refering to this song?? Wow.
Solid.
Beatiful❤
