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
