Johnny Jump Up/Morrison's Jig - Gaelic Storm

　　I'll tell you a story that happened to me

　　One day as I went out to Youghal by the Sea

　　The sun it was bright and the day it was warm

　　Says I A quiet pint wouldn't do me no harm

　　I went to the barman I says give me a stout

　　Says the barman I'm sorry all the beer tis sold out

　　Try whiskey or vodka ten years in the wood

　　Says I I'll try cider I heard it was good

　　Oh never oh never oh never again

　　If I live to a hundred or a hundred and ten

　　I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up

　　After drinking a pint of the Johnny Jump Up

　　After lowering the third I headed strait for the yard

　　Where I bumped into Brophy the big civic guard

　　Come here to me boy

　　Don't you know we're in the law

　　Well I upped with my fist and I shot to his jaw

　　He fell to the ground with his knees crumpled up

　　But it T'wasn't I hit him t'was the johnny jump

　　And the next thing I met down in Youghal by the Sea

　　Was a cripple on crutches and says he to me

　　I'm afraid o' me life I'll be hit by a car

　　Would you help me across to the Railwayman's Bar

　　And after three pints of the cider so sweet

　　He threw down his crutches and he danced on his feet

　　Oh never oh never oh never again

　　If I live to a hundred or a hundred and ten

　　I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up

　　After drinking a pint of the Johnny Jump Up

　　Now I went up the Lee road a friend to see

　　They call it the Madhouse in Cork by the Lee

　　But when I got up there the truth I do to tell

　　They had the poor bugger locked up in his cell

　　Says the guard testing him say these words if you can

　　Around the rugged rocks the ragged rascal ran'

　　Tell them I'm not crazy tell them I'm not mad

　　T'was only six pints of that cider I had

　　Now a man died in the Union by the name of McNabb

　　They washed him and laid him outside on a slab

　　And after the corroner his measurements did take

　　His wife took him home to a bloody fine wake

　　Twas about twelve o'clock and the beer it was high

　　The corpse he sat up and he says with a sigh

　　I can't get to heaven they won't let me up

　　Till I bring them a pint of the Johnny Jump Up

　　Oh never oh never oh never again

　　If I live to a hundred or a hundred and ten

　　I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up

　　After drinking a pint of the Johnny Jump Up

　　Oh never oh never oh never again

　　If I live to a hundred or a hundred and ten

　　I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up

　　After drinking a pint of the Johnny Jump Up
