Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

It was down by Brannigan’s corner one morning I did stray.
\nI met a fellow rebel and to me he did say
\nHe had orders from our Captain to assemble at Dunbar
\nBut how were we to get there without a motor car.<\/p>\n

Oh Barney dear be of good cheer I’ll tell you what you’ll do.
\nThe Specials they are plentiful but the I.R.A. are few,
\nWe’ll send a wire to Johnson to meet us at Stranlar
\nAnd we’ll give the boys a jolly good drive in Johnson’s Motor Car.<\/p>\n

When Doctor Johnson heard the news he soon put on his shoes
\nHe said this is an urgent case, there is not time to lose,
\nHe then put on his castor hat and on his breast a star,
\nYou could hear the din going through Glen Fin of Johnson’s
\n Motor Car.<\/p>\n

But when he got to the Railway Bridge, the rebels he saw there,
\nOuld Johnson knew the game was up for at him they did stare;
\nHe said I have a permit to travel near and far,
\nTo hell with your English permit, we want you motor car.<\/p>\n

What will my loyal brethren think when they hear the news
\nMy car it has been commandeered by the rebels at Dunluce,
\nWe’ll give you a receipt for it, all signed by Captain Barr
\nAnd when Ireland gets her freedom, boy, you’ll get your motor car!<\/p>\n

Well they put that car in motion and they filled it to the brim
\nWith guns and bayonets shining, which made ould Johmon grim.
\nThen Barney hoisted the Sinn Fein flag and it fluttered like a star,
\nAnd we gave three cheers for the I.R.A. and Johnson’s motor car.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
