johnson's motorcar - the ploughboys lyrics

[verse 1]
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 ensemble at dunbar
but how are we to get there without a motorcar?

[verse 2]
oh barney dear, be of good cheer, i’ll tell you what you’ll do
the specials they are plentiful but the ira are few
we’ll send a wire to johnson to meet us at stranolar
and we’ll give the boys a jolly good drive in johnson’s motorcar!

[verse 3]
when doctor johnson heard the news he soon put on his shoеs
he said “this is an urgent case, thеre is no time to lose!”
he then put on his castor hat and on his breast a star
you could hear the din goin’ through glenfin of johnson’s motorcar

[verse 4]
but when he got to the railway bridge the rebels he saw there
old johnson knew the game was up for at him they did stare
he said “i have a permit to travel near or far!”
“to h*ll with your english permit, we want your motorcar!”

[verse 5]
“what will my loyal brethren thing when all them 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 their freedom, boy you’ll get your motorcar!”
[verse 6]
well, they put that car in motion, and filled it to the brim
with guns and bayonets shining, that made old johnson grim
then barney hoisted a sinn féin flag, and it fluttered like a star
and we gave three cheers for the ira and johnson’s motorcar! (haha!)
(beep beep! johnson!)
