-5 -5
Jump-up
After leavin the third I came out by the yard, where I walked into
Brophy the civic guard; come ere to me boy dont you know Im the
law? I upped with me fist and I shattered his jaw
Well he fell to the ground with his knees doubled up twas not I that
hit him, but Johnny Jump-Up, the next thing that I met down by Youghal
by the sea was a cripple on crutches and he said to me
Im afraid for me life Ill be hit by a car, wont you help me across
to the railwaymans bar? but after drinkin a quart of the cider so
sweet, he threw down his crutches and danced in the street.
Chorus
Well I went down the Lee road a friend for to see, they call it the
Madhouse in Cork by the sea, but when I got there sure the truth I
will tell, they had a poor bugger locked up in a cell,
said the guard, testing him, say these word if you can: Around the
rugged rock the ragged rascal ran. Tell them Im not crazy, tell
them Im not mad twas only the sup of the bottle I had.
Chorus
A man died in the Union by the name of McNabb, they washed him, they
laid him outside on a slab, and after OConner his measurements did
take, his wife took him home for a bloody fine wake
Well, about twelve oclock and the beer it was high, the corpse he
sits up and says he with a sigh, I cant get to heaven, they wont
let me up till I bring them a quart of Johnny Jump-Up
