[B] [E] I'll tell you a story that happened to me one day as I went down to y'all by the sea.
The sun it was bright and the day it was warm.
Says [G#m] I, a quiet pint wouldn't do me no harm.
I went in and I called for [A] a bottle [E] of stout.
Says the barman, I'm sorry, all the beer is sold out.
Try [G#m] whiskey or paddy ten years in the [E] wood.
Says I, I'll try [D] cider, [B] I've heard that it's good.
Oh [F#m] never, oh never, oh [B] never again [A] if I live [E] to a hundred or a hundred and ten.
For I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up after drinking a [B] quart of the Johnny Jump Up.
After lowering the third [A] I made straight for the [E] yard where I bumped into Brophy the big civic guard.
Come here to me boy, don't you know I'm the law.
I upped with me fist and [B] I shattered his jaw.
He fell to the ground with his knees doubled up [E] but it wasn't I hit him, it was Johnny Jump Up.
The next [F#] thing I met down [G#m] in y'all by the sea was a cripple on [Bm] crutches and says [Em] he to me,
[B] I'm afraid in me [E] life I'll be hit by a car.
Won't you help me across to the Rail Women's Bar.
[A] After drinking [E] a quart of that cider so sweet he [Bm] threw down his crutches [B] and danced on his feet.
I went up the lee, rode a friend for to [E] see in the callip the madhouse and carped by the lee.
But when I [B] got up there the truth I [E] do tell, they had the poor bugger [B] locked [E] up in his cell.
Said the guard testing [A] him, said these [E] words if you can, [F#m] around the rugged rock [C#m] the ragged [E] rascal ran.
Tell them I'm not crazy, [B] tell them [E] I'm not mad, [Bm] it was only a sup of a bottle [E] I [B] had.
A man died in the Union by the name of [E] Macnab, they washed him and laid him outside in a slab.
And [B] after O'Connor his measurements did take, his wife took [G#] him home to a [E] bloody fine wake.
About twelve o'clock and the beer it was high, [A] and the corpse he [E] sat up and says he with a sigh,
I can't get [B] to heaven, they won't let me up, till I bring him a quart of the Johnny Jumper.
Oh never, oh never, oh never [E] again, if I [B] live to a hundred [E] or a hundred and ten.
