It was down by Brannigan's corner one morning I did stray.
|
I met a fellow rebel and to me he did say
|
He had orders from our Captain to assemble at Dunbar
|
But how were we to get there without a motor car.
|
|
Oh Barney dear be of good cheer I'll tell you what you'll do.
|
The Specials they are plentiful but the I.R.A. are few,
|
We'll send a wire to Johnson to meet us at Stranlar
|
And we'll give the boys a jolly good ride in Johnson's Motor Car.
|
|
When Doctor Johnson heard the news he soon put on his shoes
|
He said this is an urgent case, there is not time to lose,
|
He then put on his castor hat and on his breast a star,
|
You could hear the din going through Glen Fin of Johnson's
|
Motor Car.
|
|
But when he got to the Railway Bridge, the rebels he saw there,
|
Ould 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 you motor car.
|
|
What will my loyal 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 they put that car in motion and they filled it to the brim
|
With guns and bayonets shining, which made ould Johmon grim.
|
Then Barney hoisted the Sinn Fein flag and it fluttered like a star,
|
And we gave three cheers for the I.R.A. and Johnson's motor car.
