T’was down by Brannigan's Corner,
one morning I
did stray
I met a fellow rebel, and
to me he did
say
“We've orders from the captain
to
assemble at
Dunbar
But how are we to get there,
without a
motor car?”
“Oh,
Barney dear, be of good cheer,
I'll tell you
what we'll
do
The specials they are plentiful
but the
I.R.А. are
few
We'll send a wire to Johnson
to
meet us at
Stranorlar
And we'll give the boys a bloody good ride
in Johnson's
Motor Car
When
Doctor Johnson heard the news he soon put
on his
shoes
He says this is an urgent case, there
is no time to
lose
He then put on his castor hat and
on his breast a
star
You could hear the din all through Glenfin of Johnson's
Motor Car
But
when he got to the railway bridge, some rebels
he saw
there
Old Johnson knew the game was up, for
at him they did
stare
He said “I have a permit, to
travel near and
far”
“To hell with your English permit, we want your
motor car”
“What
will my local brethren think, when they
hear the
news
My car it has been commandeered, by the
rebels at
Dunluce”
“We'll give you a receipt for it, all
signed by Captain
Barr
And when Ireland gets her freedom, boy, you'll get your
motor car”
Well we put that car in motion and filled it
to the
brim
With guns and bayonets shining which
made old Johnson
grim
And Barney hoisted a Sínn Fein flag, and it
fluttered like a
star
And we gave three cheers for the I.R.А. and Johnson's
Motor Car.
