It was down by Brannigans 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 Ill tell you what youll do The Specials they are plentiful but the I.R.A. are few Well send a wire to Johnson to meet us at Stranrar And well give the boys a jolly good drive in Johnsons 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 Johnsons 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 your motor car What will my loyal brethren think when they hear the news My car it has been commandeered by the rebels at Dunluce Well give you a receipt for it, all signed by Captain Barr When Ireland gets her freedom, then youll 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 Johnsons motor car
