- (continued from previous page)Of Johnson’s motor-car.IVBut when he reached the Reelin Bridge
He met some rebels there,
He knew the game was up with them
As at them he did stare:
He said: “I have a permit
For travelling so far.”
“We don’t want your English permit
We want your motor-car!”VWe put the car in motion,
And filled it to the brim
With guns and bayonets shining,
While Johnson he did grin,
And Barney waved the Sinn Fein flag
As we shot off like a star
And we gave three cheers for Ireland
In Johnson’s motor-car. [sidenote] This song was written in the time of the Trouble, probably in the year 1920.- Collector
