[00:06.99]I'll tell you a story that happened to me
[00:10.20]One day as I went down to Youghal by the Sea
[00:13.47]The sun it was bright and the day it was warm
[00:16.93]Says I A quiet pint wouldn't do me no harm
[00:20.23]I went to the barman I says Give me a stout
[00:23.46]Says the barman I'm sorry all the beer tis sold out
[00:27.01]Try whiskey or vodka ten years in the wood
[00:30.24]Says I I'll try cider I heard that it's good
[00:33.73]Oh never oh never oh never again
[00:36.93]If I live to a hundred or a hundred and ten
[00:40.37]I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up
[00:43.73]After drinking a pint of the Johnny Jump Up
[00:50.80]After lowering the third
[00:52.12]I headed straight for the yard
[00:54.21]Where I bumped into Brophy the big civic guard
[00:57.35]Come here to me boy don't
[00:59.15]You know we're in the law
[01:00.88]Well I upped with my fist and I shot to his jaw
[01:04.51]Fell to the ground with his knees crumpled up
[01:07.65]T'wasnt I hit him t'was the johnny jump
[01:11.27]And the next thing I met
[01:12.90]Down in Youghal by the Sea
[01:14.57]Was a cripple on crutches and says he to me
[01:17.96]I'm afraid o' me life I'll be hit by a car
[01:21.43]Would you help me across to the Railwayman's Bar
[01:24.78]And after three pints of that cider so sweet
[01:28.19]He threw down his crutches
[01:29.66]And he danced on his feet
[01:31.85]Oh never oh never oh never again
[01:35.19]If I live to a hundred or a hundred and ten
[01:38.57]I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up
[01:42.10]After drinking a pint of the Johnny Jump Up
[02:13.22]Now I went up the Lee Road a friend for to see
[02:16.48]They call it the Madhouse in Cork by the Lee
[02:20.14]But when I got up there the truth I do to tell
[02:23.50]They had the poor bugger locked up in his cell
[02:26.96]Says the guard testing him
[02:28.12]Say these words if you can
[02:30.52]Around the rugged rocks the ragged rascal ran'
[02:34.13]Tell them I'm not crazy tell them I'm not mad
[02:37.36]T'was only six pints of that cider I had
[02:44.38]Now a man died in the Union by the name of McNabb
[02:47.77]They washed him and laid him outside on a slab
[02:51.13]And after the coroner his measurements did take
[02:54.94]His wife took him home to a bloody fine wake
[02:58.29]Twas about twelve o'clock and the beer it was high
[03:01.62]The corpse he sat up and he says with a sigh
[03:05.24]I can't get to heaven they won't let me up
[03:08.74]Til I bring them a pint of the Johnny Jump Up
[03:12.04]Oh never oh never oh never again
