But how are we to get there,, without a motor car..?"

We'll send a wire to Johnson to meet us at Stranlar
G D G
And we'll give the boys a bloody good ride in Johnson's Motor Car
[VERSE 3]~
G D G
When doctor Johnson heard the news he soon put on his shoes
C G
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
G D G
You could hear the din all through Glenfin of Johnson's Motor Car
[VERSE 4]~
G D G
But when he got to the railway bridge,, some rebels he saw there
C G
Old Johnson knew the game was up,, for at him they did stare

He said "I have a permit,, to travel near and far"
G D G
"To hell with your English permit,, we want your motor car"
[VERSE 5]~

"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
G D G
And when Ireland gets her freedom,, boy,, you'll get your motor car"
[VERSE 6]~
G D G
Well we put that car in motion and filled it to the brim
C G
With guns and bayonets shining which made old Johnson grim
C G
And Barney hoisted a SÃnn Fein flag,, and it fluttered like a star
G D G
And we gave three cheers for the I!R!A! and Johnson's Motor Car
