CORRECTAR LA LETRA
Letra : Johnston’s Motor car (2020)
Well, it was down by Brockagh corner, one morning I did stray
When a lad, another rebel bold, to me this did say
"We've order from the captain, to a**emble at Drumbar
But how are we to reach Dungloe without a motor car?"
"O Barney dear, be of good cheer, I'll tell you what we'll do
The IRC are plentiful, but the IRA are few
We'll send a wire to Stranorlar before we walk so far
And we'll give the boys a jolly good ride on Johnston's Motor Car"
When Doctor Johnston heard the nеws he soon pulled on his shoes
Hе said "This is an urgent case, there is no time to lose!"
He then put on his castor hat and on his breast a star
You could hear the din goin' through Glenfin in Johnston's Motor Car
But when he got to the Reelin Bridge, the rebels he saw there
Old Johnston knew the game was up and at him they did stare
He said "I'll have a permit, to travel near and far!"
"You can shove the pa** right up your a**, we want your motor car!"
"What will my loyal comrades say when i get to Drumboe?
To say my car was taken by rebels from Dungloe?"
"We'll give you a receipt for her, all signed by Captain Barr
And when Ireland gets her freedom, boys, you'll get your motor car!"
Well they put the car in motion, they filled it to the brim
With guns and bayonets shining, while Johnston, he did grin
When Barney waved a Sinn Féin flag, he shot off like a star
And they gave 3 cheers for the freedom and Johnston's Motor Car!
When the loyal crew, they heard the news it grieved their hearts full sore
They swore they'd have reprisals before they would give o'er
In vain they searched through Glenties, the Rosses and Kilcar
While the IRA, their flags displayed on Johnston's Motor Car
While the IRA, their flags displayed on Johnston's Motor Car!
When a lad, another rebel bold, to me this did say
