Johnny Jump Up Gm Fm Well I'll tell you a story that happened to me one day as I went out to Yaw by the sea the day it was hot, the sun it was warm says I "A quick pint wouldn't do any harm" I went in and ordered a bottle of stout says the barman,"I'm sorry the beers 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: But never, oh never, oh never again if I live to be a hundred or a hundred and ten well I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up after drinking the quart of the Johnny Jump Up After law in the third I came out by the yard where I walked into Brofie the big civic guard "Come 'ere to me boy don't you know I'm the law" I opened *me fist and I shattered his jaw well he fell to the ground his knees doubled up 'twas not I that what hit him 'twas the Johnny Jump Up next thing that I met down by Yaw 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 cart won't you help me across to the highwaymans bar" but after drinkin' a quart of the cider so sweet he threw *down his crutches and danced on his feet Chorus: Well I went down to Liro a friend for to see they call it the Madhouse in Cork by the lee but when I got there should the truth I will tell they had the poor bugger locked up in a cell so's the guard tested him "say these words if you can: around the rugged rock the ragged rascal ran" "Tell them I'm not crazy tell them I'm not mad 'twas on*ly the sip off the bottle I had Chorus: A man died in the Union by the name of McNabb they washed him they Layed him outside on the slab and after O' Connor his measurements did take his wife took him home for a bloody fine wake (Full force) well about twelve O'clock and the beer it was high the corpse 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 the Johnny Jump Up" Chorus:
