A fun traditional tune that I learned from Gaelic Storm's first album. The chorus is catchy and one that people love to sing along with!

I'll tell you a story that happened to me,
One day as I went down to Cork 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 in 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 heard that it's good."
Oh 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 pint of the Johnny Jump Up.
After lowering the third I headed straight for the yard,
Where I bumped into Brophy the big civic guard.
"Come here to me boy! Don't you know we're in the law?"
Well I upped with my fist and I shattered his jaw!
He fell to the ground with his knees doubled up,
But it wasn't I hit him, t'was the Johnny Jump Up.
And the next thing I met down in Cork by the sea,
Was a cripple on crutches, and says he to me:
"I'm afraid of me life I'll be hit by a car!
Would you help me across to the Railwayman's Bar?"
And after three pints of that cider so sweet,
He threw down his crutches and he danced on his feet!
Oh never, oh never, oh never again...
Now I went up the Lee Road a friend for to see.
They call it the Madhouse in Cork by the Lee.
But when I got up there, the truth I do to tell,
They had the poor bugger locked up in his cell!
Says the guard testing him, "Say these words if you can:
'Around the rugged rocks the ragged rascal ran.'"
"Tell them I'm not crazy, tell them I'm not mad!
It was only six pints of that cider I had!"
Oh never, oh never, oh never again...
Now a man died in the Union by the name of McNabb.
They washed him and placed him outside on a slab.
And after the coroner his measurements did take,
His wife took him home to a bloody fine wake.
It's about twelve o'clock and the beer it was high.
The corpse he sat up and he says with a sigh,
"I can't get to heaven so before I burn up,
Won't you bring me a pint of the Johnny Jump Up?"
Oh never, oh never, oh never again...
