Lyrics and Music by Richie Kavanagh
I never had a rally car since or before,
Like the Mark 2 Escort, that I bought in ’84.
She was almost 10 years auld and had seen better days.
You’d rev’er on the corners, and drive her straight side ways.
Rev’er, rev’er, rev’er on the corners and driver her straight side ways.
You’d rev’er on the corners and drive her straight side ways.
O rev’er, rev’er, rev’er on the corners and driver her straight side ways.
You’d rev’er on the corners and drive her straight side ways.
The first time that I saw her, I knew what I had to do.
Strip her down completely and build her up brand new.
She was the square edge version, that appered in ’75.
The greatest car ever made, be the holy man alive.
Rev’er, rev’er, rev’er on the corners and driver her straight side ways.
You’d rev’er on the corners and drive her straight side ways.
O rev’er, rev’er, rev’er on the corners and driver her straight side ways.
You’d rev’er on the corners and drive her straight side ways.
“You’re a good one Johnny, yer a good one, she’s looking quare well now lad”
“That’s right now, she’s going quare well, she’s going like a clock”
She has a Middleton Diamond Engine, it is a 2.4.
With a Weber carburettor, sure you couldn’t ask for more.
She has a great back axle and brand new KONI Shocks.
A sturdy 6 speed gear box, that I call ”The Auld dog Box”
Rev’er, rev’er, rev’er on the corners and driver her straight side ways.
You’d rev’er on the corners and drive her straight side ways.
O rev’er, rev’er, rev’er on the corners and driver her straight side ways.
You’d rev’er on the corners and drive her straight side ways.
About the Song,…..Rev’er On The Corners.
The squarer-styled Mark II version, appeared in January 1975.
The first production models,
had rolled off the production lines on 2 December 1974.
As with its predecessor, the Mark II had a successful rallying career.
