Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll tell you a story that happened to me
\nOne day as I went down to Yore by the sea
\nThe sun it was bright and the day it was warm,
\nSays I a quiet pint wouldn\u2019t do me no harm<\/p>\n

I went in and I called for a bottle of stout
\nSays the barman, \u201cI\u2019m sorry, all the beer is sold out.
\nTry whiskey or paddy, ten years in the wood.\u201d
\nSays I, \u201cI\u2019ll try cider, I\u2019ve heard that it\u2019s good good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oh never, Oh never, Oh never again
\nIf I live to a hundred or a hundred and ten
\nI fell to the ground and I could not get up
\nAfter drinking a quart of the Johnny Jump Up
\nAhhh\u2026<\/p>\n

After lowering the third I made straight for the yard
\nWhere I bumped into Brody, the big civic guard
\nCome here to me boy, don\u2019t you know I\u2019m the law?
\nWell, I up with me fist and I shattered his jaw<\/p>\n

He fell to the ground with his knees doubled up
\nBut it wasn\u2019t I hit him, \u2019twas the Johnny Jump Up
\nThe next thing I met down in Yore by the sea
\nWas a cripple on crutches and says he to me<\/p>\n

I\u2019m afraid for me life I\u2019ll be hit by a car
\nWon\u2019t you help me on down to the Railway Men\u2019s Bar?
\nAfter downing a pint of the cider so sweet
\nWell, he threw down his crutches and danced on his feet<\/p>\n

Well, I went up the lee road, a friend for to see
\nThey call it the madhouse in Cork by the Lea
\nAnd when I got there, sure the truth I will tell,
\nWell, they had the poor bugger locked up in a cell<\/p>\n

Said the guard, testing him, say these words if you can
\nAround the rugged rock the ragged rascal ran
\nTell him I\u2019m not crazy, tell him I\u2019m not mad
\nIt was only a sip of the bottle I had<\/p>\n

Well, a man died in the mines by the name of McNabb
\nThey washed him and laid him outside on the slab
\nAnd after the coroners measurements did take
\nWell, his wife took him home to a bloody fine wake<\/p>\n

About 12 o\u2019clock and the beer it was high
\nAnd the corpse he sat up and he says with a sigh
\nI can\u2019t get to heaven, they won\u2019t let me up
\nTil I bring them a quart of the Johnny Jump Up<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
