tommy makem - johnson's motor car lyrics

it was down by brannigan’s corner one morning i did
stray.
i met a fellow rebel and to me he did say
‘we have orders from our captain to -ssemble 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 drive 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 h-ll 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 we put that car in motion and filled it to the
brim
with guns and bayonets shining, which made ould johnon
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
