-4 -4 -6 -6 -6 6 -6 -5 -4 -4
Well, I�ll tell you a story that happened
-4 -4 -4 4 -4 5 6 -6 6 6 6 6
to me, one day as I went out to Youghal by
5 -4 -8 -8 -8 7 -6 -6 6 -6
the sea, the day it was hot, the sun it
-6 -7 -8 -8 -8 7 -8 -6 6 -6
was warm, says I �a quick pint wouldn�t do
-5 -4 -4
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:
-4 -4 -6 -6 -6 6 -6 -5 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4
Oh nev-er, Oh never, Oh never again, If I
4 -4 5 6 -6 6 6 6 5 -4 4
live to a hundred or a hundred and ten;
-8 -8 -8 7 -6 -6 6 -6 -6 -7 7
for I fell to the ground and I couldn�t get
-8 -8 -8 -8 7 -8 -6 6 -6 -5 -4
up, after drinkin� a quart of the Johnny
-4 -4
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
