Johnson's Motor Car(Live at Carnegie Hall, New York, NY - March 17, 1963) - The Clancy Brothers/Tommy Makem

作曲：Traditional

'Twas down by Brannigan's corner one morning I did stray

I met a fellow rebel and to me he did say

We've orders from the captain to assemble at Dunbar

But how are we to get there without a motor car

Oh barney dear be of good cheer I'll tell you what we'll do

The specials they are plentiful the I R A are few

We'll send a wire to Johnson to meet us at Stranlar

And we'll give the boys a bloody good ride in Johnson's motor car

When doctor Johnson heard the news he soon put on his shoes

He says this is an urgent case there is no time to lose

He then put on his castor hat and on his breast a star

You could hear the din all through Glenfin of Johnson's motor car

But when he got to the railway bridge some rebels he saw there

Old Johnson knew the game was up for at him they did stare

He said have a permit to travel near and far

To hell with your English permit we want your motor car

What will my local brethren think when they 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 her freedom boy you'll get your motor car

Well we put that car in motion and filled it to the brim

With guns and bayonets shining which made old Johnson grim

And barney hoisted a sí nn fein flag and it fluttered like a star

And we gave three cheers for the I R A and Johnson's motor car
