- The man that invented.
The first motor car.
Caused a great deal more trouble.
Than the great big war.
For me and my wife lived as happy as could be.
With an old ass named Johnnie.
To drag us though life.
Of all the old asses.
He did a great trade.
This ass he was purchased.
From a firm in Cork.
Butter and beef was the name of the boss.
On day as the provisions run down.

And greased the old cart.
And off to Carrickmacross I did start.(continues on next page)
