Johnny Jump UP
Bedlam Bards

Let me tell you a story that happened to me

One day as I went down to Youghal by the sea

The day it was hot, the sun it was warm

Says I A quick pint wouldn't do any harm

Well I went in and I asked for a bottle of stout

Says the barman to me, All the beer's all sold out

Try whiskey, try Paddy, 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 be a hundred or a hundred and ten

Well I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up

After drinking a quart of that Johnny-Jump-Up

After leavin' the third I went back to the yard

Where I bumped into Brophy the big civic guard;

Come 'ere to me lad don't you know I'm the law?

Well I upped with me fist and I shattered his jaw.

He fell to the ground with his knees doubled up

It wasn't I'd hit him, t'was the Johnny Jump-Up

The next thing that I saw down at Youghal by the Sea

Was a cripple on crutches and he said to me.

I'm afeard for me life I'll be hit by a cart

Won't you help me on over to the longshoremen's bar?

After drinkin' a quart of that cider so sweet

He threw down his crutches and he danced in the street.

Chorus

Well I went down to Bedlam a friend for to see,

They call it the Madhouse near Cork by the Sea

But when I got there sure the truth I do tell

They had the poor bugger locked up in a cell

Now the jailor he said, Say these word if you can:

'Around the rugged rock the ragged rascal ran.

Tell them I'm not crazy, tell them I'm not mad

'Twas only a sup of the bottle I had.

Chorus

A man died in the Union by the name of M'Crack

They washed him, they laid him outside on his back

And after O'Connor his measurements did take

His wife took him home for a bloody fine wake

About twelve o'clock and the beer it was high

When the corpse he 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 Johnny Jump-Up

Chorus
