Johnson's Motorcar

Johnson's MotorcarIt was down by Egan's corner one morning I did strayI met a fellow rebel there and this to him did say'We have orders from the captainTo assemble at Drum-barBut how are we go to get there without a motorcar?'Well Barney dear be of good cheerAnd I'll tell you what we'll doThe specials they are plentiful and the IRA are fewWe'll wire into Stranorlar and before we'll get that farWe'll give the boys a bloody good ride in Johnson's motorcarWhen doctor Johnson got the newsHe soon put on his shoesHe said 'This is an urgent caseAnd there is no time to lose'He then put on his castor hatAnd upon his breast a starYou could hear the din goingThrough Glenfin of John-son's motorcarWell when he got to the Reelin BridgeThe rebels he saw thereHe knew the game was up with himFor at him they did stareHe said 'I have a permit to travel near and far'You can stick your English permitWe want your mo-torcarWhat will you loyal brethren sayWhen e'er they hear the newsMy car it has been commandeeredBy the rebels at DunluceWe'll give you a receipt for itAll signed by Captain MeagherAnd when Ireland gets her freedomYou'll get your motorcarThey set the car in motion and filled it to the brimWith rifles and with bayonetsThis made old Johnson grimAnd Barney hoisted the Sinn Fein flagAnd it flutte-red like a starAnd they give three cheers for the IRAAnd Johnson's motorcar
