[VERSE 1]
'Twas d[G]own by Brannigan's Corner, one m[D]orning I did st[G]ray
I met a fellow rebel, and t[C]o me he did s[G]ay
"We've [G]orders from the captain to a[C]ssemble at D[G]unbar
But [G]how are we to get there, wit[D]hout a motor c[G]ar?"

[VERSE 2]
"Oh, Ba[G]rney dear, be of good cheer, I'll t[D]ell you what we'll [G]do
The specials they are plentiful, the I.[C]R.A. are f[G]ew
We'll send a wire to Johnson to m[C]eet us at St[G]ranlar
And we'll g[G]ive the boys a bloody good ride in J[D]ohnson's Motor [G]Car

[VERSE 3]
When do[G]ctor Johnson heard the news he s[D]oon put on his sh[G]oes
He says this is an urgent case, there i[C]s no time to l[G]ose
He then put on his castor hat and [C]on his breast a [G]star
You cou[G]ld hear the din all through Glenfin of J[D]ohnson's Motor [G]Car

[VERSE 4]
But whe[G]n he got to the railway bridge, some re[D]bels he saw th[G]ere
Old Johnson knew the game was up, for a[C]t him they did s[G]tare
He said "I have a permit, to t[C]ravel near and f[G]ar"
"To hel[G]l with your English permit, we w[D]ant your motor ca[G]r"

[VERSE 5]
"What w[G]ill my local brethren think, [D]when they hear the [G]news
My car it has been commandeered, by the r[C]ebels at D[G]unluce"
"We'll give you a receipt for it, all s[C]igned by Captain B[G]arr
And when I[G]reland gets her freedom, boy, you'll [D]get your motor [G]car"

[VERSE 6]
Well we [G]put that car in motion and [D]filled it to the br[G]im
With guns and bayonets shining which ma[C]de old Joh[G]nson grim
And Barney hoisted a Sínn Fein flag, and it [C]fluttered like a [G]star
And we [G]gave three cheers for the I.R.A. and J[D]ohnson's Motor [G]Car
