    These songs record real history.
    Should never be forgotten. People who fought & died for justice will never be forgotten.

    "Now I am dying, my body all holes
    I think of those traitors who bargained and sold
    I'm sorry my rifle has not done the same
    For the Quislings who sold out the patriot game"
    Thinking about this song after seeing shinners at the coronation, after all the martyrs for a free Ireland for their movements to end up like this.

      for me this is the journey he goes on as the song progresses. he turns into a patriot and exactly the sort of person he laments at the start of the song.

      @@henrikpersson4698 hmm maybe, I feel like that it's saying even if you are a patriot,that just because someone else cares about your country, doesn't mean they care about you.
      It's a terrible thing because it's powerful, it can be good as well but it can be abused

      @@Tn49532 That is not the point, it’s about singing the song the way it was written. If you don’t agree, plenty of other people’s songs to sing. Behan was forthright and let it been known that he didn’t want people changing the words of his song, to appease de Valera and his Political Party.

      de Valera and Collins were both traitors who turned against the true Republicans for their own glory, fame and chance of power. Under Collins IRA men were executed and under Dev they were as well.
