-5 -5 -7 -7 -7 7 -7 -6 -5 -5
Well, I�ll tell you a story that happened
-5 -5 -5 5 -5 6 7 -7 7 7 7 7
to me, one day as I went out to Youghal by
6 -5 -9 -9 -9 8 -7 -7 7 -7
the sea, the day it was hot, the sun it
-7 -8 -9 -9 -9 8 -9 -7 7 -7
was warm, says I �a quick pint wouldn�t do
-6 -5 -5
a-ny harm
I went in and called for a bottle of stout says the barman, �I�m sorry the beer�s all sold out, try whiskey, young paddy, ten years in the wood� says I, �I�ll have cider; I�ve heard that it�s good
Chorus:
-5 -5 -7 -7 -7 7 -7 -6 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5
Oh nev-er, Oh never, Oh never again, If I
5 -5 6 7 -7 7 7 7 6 -5 5
live to a hundred or a hundred and ten;
-9 -9 -9 8 -7 -7 7 -7 -7 -8 8
for I fell to the ground and I couldn�t get
-9 -9 -9 -9 8 -9 -7 7 -7 -6 -5
up, after drinkin� a quart of the Johnny
-5 -5
Jump-up
After leavin the third I came out by the yard, where I walked into Brophy the civic guard; �come ere to me boy don�t you know I�m the law?� I upped with me fist and I shattered his jaw
Well he fell to the ground with his knees doubled up �twas not I that hit him, but Johnny Jump-Up, the next thing that I met down by Youghal by the sea was a cripple on crutches and he said to me
�I�m afraid for me life I�ll be hit by a car, won�t you help me across to the railwayman�s bar?� but after drinkin� a quart of the cider so sweet, he threw down his crutches and danced in the street.
Chorus
Well I went down the Lee road a friend for to see, they call it the Madhouse in Cork by the sea, but when I got there sure the truth I will tell, they had a poor bugger locked up in a cell,
said the guard, testing him, �say these word if you can: �Around the rugged rock the ragged rascal ran.� �Tell them I�m not crazy, tell them I�m not mad �twas only the sup of the bottle I had.
Chorus
A man died in the Union by the name of McNabb, they washed him, they laid him outside on a slab, and after O�Conner his measurements did take, his wife took him home for a bloody fine wake
Well, about twelve o�clock and the beer it was high, the corpse he sits up and says he with a sigh, �I can�t get to heaven, they won�t let me up �till I bring them a quart of Johnny Jump-Up
Chorus
