Well I'll tell you a story that happened to me
One day as I went down to Youghal by the Sea
The sun it was high and the day it was warm
Said I, A quick pint wouldn't do any harm
I went in and ordered a bottle of stout
the barman said sorry the beer's all sold out
Try whiskey or Paddy, ten years in the wood
Said I, I'll have cider, I heard that it's good

Chorus:
but I'll 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 quart of that Johnny Jump Up

After leaving the twentieth I went out in the yard
where I ran into Brophy, the big City Guard
Come here to me boy - can't you see I'm the law
I closed up my fist and I shattered his jaw
he fell to the ground, his knees doubled up
It wasn't I that hit him, was that Johnny Jump up!

The next one 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 get hit by a car
Won't you help me across to the Highwayman's Bar
After drinkin' a pint of the cider so sweet
He pulled down his pants and he s___ged all my sheep!

Chorus

I went up the Lee road a friend to see
They call it the Madhouse in Youghal by the Lee
But when I got there, sure the truth I will tell
They had the poor b_____ locked up in a cell
said the guard testing him, Say these word if you can
'Around the rugged rocks the ragged rascal ran'
Tell 'em I'm not crazy, tell 'em I'm not mad
Twas only a sip of the cider I had.

Chorus

well A man died in the Union by the name of McNabb
you know, they washed him and they laid him outside on a slab
and when O'Connell his measurements did take
his wife took him home for a b_____ fine wake
when the hour it was midnight and the beer it was high
The corpse sits up and says "so am I"
I can't get to heaven, they won't let me up
Till I bring them a quart of that Johnny Jump Up
