Johnson´s Motorcar Songtext

Johnson´s MotorcarIt was down by Eagan´s cornerone morning I did strayI met a fellow rebel thereand this to him did sayHe had orders from our Captainto assemble at DunbarBut how were we to get therewithout a motor carOh Barney dear be of good cheerI´ll tell you what you´ll doThe Specials they are plentifulbut the I.R.A. are fewWe´ll send a wire to Johnsonto meet us at StranlarAnd we´ll give the boys a jolly good ridein Johnson´s Motor CarWhen Doctor Johnson heard the newshe soon put on his shoesHe said this is an urgent casethere is not time to loseHe then put on his castor hatand on his breast a starYou could hear the dingoing through Glen Fin of Johnson´s Motor CarBut when he got to the Railway Bridgethe rebels he saw thereOuld Johnson knew the game was upfor at him they did stareHe said I have a permitto travel near and farTo hell with your English permitwe want you motor carWhat will my loyal brethren thinkwhen they hear the newsMy car it has been commandeeredby the rebels at DunluceWe´ll give you a receipt for itall signed by Captain BarrAnd when Ireland gets her freedomyou´ll get back your motor carWell they put that car in motionand they filled it to the brimWith guns and bayonets shiningwhich made ould Johmon grimThen Barney hoisted the Sinn Fein flagand it fluttered like a starAnd w egave three cheers for the I.R.A.and Johnson´s motor car
