Hang out your brightest colours

I've been desperately trying to find a recording of the song "Hang out your brightest colours" aka "The Ballad of Michael Collins" written by Brendan O'Reilly. Can anybody please help ?

Hi,

This was a tricky one, as there are quite a few songs that are called The Ballad of Michael Collins. But here is a CD from The Glenside Irish Classics which feature this particular song. I hope it helps you.

Hi Pete,

Thanks a lot for your reply. The song on the "Glenside Irish Classics" is indeed called the Ballad of Michael Collins but it's a different one (I think).
The chorus of the song I'm looking for goes :
"Hang out your brightest colours
His memory now recall
Each one wants a part of him
But no one wants it all."
