Johnsons Motor Car Cifras

[Verse 1]
       C                               F              C
'Twas down by Brannigan's Corner, one morning I did stray
                           C            C
I met a fellow rebel, and to me he did say
       C                           C           C
"We've orders from the captain to assemble at Funbar
    C                           F             C
But how are we to get there, without a motor car?"
 
[Verse 2]
       C                                  F                  C
"Oh, Barney dear, be of good cheer, I'll tell you what we'll do
                                       C         C
The specials they are plentiful, the I.R.A. are few
                                 C           C
We'll send a wire to Johnson to meet us at Stranlar
           C                                   F              C
And we'll give the boys a bloody good ride in Johnson's Motor Car
 
[Verse 3]
       C                               F                C
When doctor Johnson heard the news he soon put on his shoes
                                       C             C
He says this is an urgent case, there is no time to lose
                                  C               C
He then put on his castor hat and on his breast a star
       C                                       F              C
You could hear the din all through Clenfin of Johnson's Motor Car
 
[Verse 4]
       C                                      F             C
But when he got to the railway bridge, some rebels he saw there
                                       C               C
Old Johnson knew the game was up, for at him they did stare
                              C               C
He said "I have a permit, to travel near and far"
       C                               F                C
"To hell with your English permit, we want your motor car"
 
[Verse 5]
       C                            F                  C
"What will my local brethren think, when they hear the news
                                         C         C
My car it has been commandeered, by the rebels at Funluce"
                                       C                 C
"We'll give you a receipt for it, all signed by Captain Barr
          C                                    F              C
And when Ireland gets her freedom, boy, you'll get your motor car"
 
[Verse 6]
        C                          F                  C
Well we put that car in motion and filled it to the brim
                                       C         C
With guns and bayonets shining which made old Johnson grim
                                             C                C
And Barney hoisted a Sínn Fein flag, and it fluttered like a star
       C                                     F              C
And we gave three cheers for the I.R.A. and Johnson's Motor Car
