[VERSE 1]
'Twas dGown by Brannigan's Corner, one mDorning I did stGray
I met a fellow rebel, and tCo me he did sGay
"We've Gorders from the captain to aCssemble at DGunbar
But Ghow are we to get there, witDhout a motor cGar?"
[VERSE 2]
"Oh, BaGrney dear, be of good cheer, I'll tDell you what we'll Gdo
The specials they are plentiful, the I.CR.A. are fGew
We'll send a wire to Johnson to mCeet us at StGranlar
And we'll gGive the boys a bloody good ride in JDohnson's Motor GCar
[VERSE 3]
When doGctor Johnson heard the news he sDoon put on his shGoes
He says this is an urgent case, there iCs no time to lGose
He then put on his castor hat and Con his breast a Gstar
You couGld hear the din all through Glenfin of JDohnson's Motor GCar
[VERSE 4]
But wheGn he got to the railway bridge, some reDbels he saw thGere
Old Johnson knew the game was up, for aCt him they did sGtare
He said "I have a permit, to tCravel near and fGar"
"To helGl with your English permit, we wDant your motor caGr"
[VERSE 5]
"What wGill my local brethren think, Dwhen they hear the Gnews
My car it has been commandeered, by the rCebels at DGunluce"
"We'll give you a receipt for it, all sCigned by Captain BGarr
And when IGreland gets her freedom, boy, you'll Dget your motor Gcar"
[VERSE 6]
Well we Gput that car in motion and Dfilled it to the brGim
With guns and bayonets shining which maCde old JohGnson grim
And Barney hoisted a SÃnn Fein flag, and it Cfluttered like a Gstar
And we Ggave three cheers for the I.R.A. and JDohnson's Motor GCar
