Executive summary: The Patriot Game Accused Bob Dylan of plagiarizing his rebellious Irish song, "The Patriot Game", which Dylan imitated as "With God on Our Side." Unfortunately, Behan had plagiarized it himself from a traditional Irish melody of the first quarter of the 17th century, known as "The Nightingale" (and under numerous other titles with different lyrics, with Irish borrowing the way it is).
