_ _ _ _ _ As down by Rocket Corner one morning I did stray I met another rebel [G] lad who this to
[D] me did say I bear orders from the captain [G] to assemble [D] at Drum Bar But how were we to
get there without a motor car? _
_ _ _ _ _ Oh Barney dear be of good cheer I'll tell you what we'll do
The loyalists have plenty [G] although we [D] have but few
I'll wire to Stanola [G] before we [D] march so far
I will give the boys a jolly good ride in Johnson's motor car _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Johnson got the wire he soon pulled on his shoes
He says this case is urgent [G] there is no [D] time to lose
He wore a fancy castor [G] hat and on his [D] breast a star
You can hear the dins on Sutherland Finn of Johnson's motor car _ _
_ _ _ _ _ When you reach the railing bridge he met some rebels there
He knew the game was up with him [G] as at him they [D] did stare
He says I've got a permit [G] to travel here [D] so far
You can keep your English permit we want your motor car _ _
_ _ _ _ _ What will my loyal comrades say [Gbm] when I get to [D] Drumbo
To say my car was commandeered [G] by rebels from [D] Dunloe
We'll give you a receipt for her [G] signed by [D] Captain Barr
I'll wire and treat her then we'll see to Johnson's motor car _ _
_ _ _ _ _ They put the car in motion they filled her to the brim
With guns and bayonets shining [G] while Johnson he [D] did grin
When Barney waved his shin-plamed [G] flag it shobbled [D] like a star
And they give three cheers for liberty and Johnson's motor car _ _
_ _ _ _ _ On the loyal crew they heard the news it breathed their hearts full sore
They swore they'd have [G] reprisals before they [D] would give o'er
In vain they searched through glen [G] seas, the rustles [D] and kilcar
While the IRA their flags displayed on Johnson's motor car
