Johnny Jump Up / Morrison’s Jig Gaelic Storm

[Verse 1]
I'll tell ye 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've heard that it's good

[Chorus]
Oh never, oh never, oh never again
If I live to a hundred or a hundred and ten
'Cause I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up
After drinking a pint of the Johnny Jump Up

[Verse 2]
After lowering the third I headed strait for the yard
Where I bumped into Brophy the big civic guard
He says 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 doubled up
But 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
