Johnny Jump Up/Morrison's Jig - Gaelic Storm[00:00:00]
I'll tell you a story that happened to me[00:00:06]
One day as I went down to Youghal by the Sea[00:00:10]
The sun it was bright and the day it was warm[00:00:13]
Says I A quiet pint wouldn't do me no harm[00:00:16]
I went to the barman I says Give me a stout[00:00:20]
Says the barman I'm sorry all the beer tis sold out[00:00:23]
Try whiskey or vodka ten years in the wood[00:00:27]
Says I I'll try cider I heard that it's good[00:00:30]
Oh never oh never oh never again[00:00:33]
If I live to a hundred or a hundred and ten[00:00:36]
I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up[00:00:40]
After drinking a pint of the Johnny Jump Up[00:00:43]
After lowering the third[00:00:50]
I headed straight for the yard[00:00:52]
Where I bumped into Brophy the big civic guard[00:00:54]
Come here to me boy don't[00:00:57]
You know we're in the law[00:00:59]
Well I upped with my fist and I shot to his jaw[00:01:00]
Fell to the ground with his knees crumpled up[00:01:04]
T'wasnt I hit him t'was the johnny jump[00:01:07]
And the next thing I met[00:01:11]
Down in Youghal by the Sea[00:01:12]
Was a cripple on crutches and says he to me[00:01:14]
I'm afraid o' me life I'll be hit by a car[00:01:17]
Would you help me across to the Railwayman's Bar[00:01:21]
And after three pints of that cider so sweet[00:01:24]
He threw down his crutches[00:01:28]
And he danced on his feet[00:01:29]
Oh never oh never oh never again[00:01:31]
If I live to a hundred or a hundred and ten[00:01:35]
I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up[00:01:38]
After drinking a pint of the Johnny Jump Up[00:01:42]
Now I went up the Lee Road a friend for to see[00:02:13]
They call it the Madhouse in Cork by the Lee[00:02:16]
But when I got up there the truth I do to tell[00:02:20]
They had the poor bugger locked up in his cell[00:02:23]
Says the guard testing him[00:02:26]
Say these words if you can[00:02:28]
Around the rugged rocks the ragged rascal ran'[00:02:30]
Tell them I'm not crazy tell them I'm not mad[00:02:34]
T'was only six pints of that cider I had[00:02:37]
Now a man died in the Union by the name of McNabb[00:02:44]
They washed him and laid him outside on a slab[00:02:47]
And after the coroner his measurements did take[00:02:51]
His wife took him home to a bloody fine wake[00:02:54]
Twas about twelve o'clock and the beer it was high[00:02:58]
The corpse he sat up and he says with a sigh[00:03:01]
I can't get to heaven they won't let me up[00:03:05]
Til I bring them a pint of the Johnny Jump Up[00:03:08]
Oh never oh never oh never again[00:03:12]
If I live to a hundred or a hundred and ten[00:03:15]
Cause I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up[00:03:19]
After drinking a pint of the Johnny Jump Up[00:03:22]
Oh never oh never oh never again[00:03:26]
If I live to a hundred or a hundred and[00:03:29]
Ten'Cause I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up[00:03:32]
After drinking a pint of the Johnny Jump Up[00:03:36]
