Johnstone's Motor Car
Last updated: 11.10.23
"Johnstone's Motor Car" is another song that I transcribed from a The Clancy Brothers recording and we sang it a lot in the Idle Fellowss. It's fine, jaunting rebel song but with its obvious connection to the IRA the performer has to be judicious as to whom or where it can be sung without injuring sensibilities.
