[Verse 1]
I'll Emtell you a story that happened to me
One Dday as I went down to Youghal by the Sea
The Emsun it was bright and the Gday it was Dwarm
Says EmI, A quiet Dpint wouldn't Emdo me Dno Emharm
I Emwent in to the barman, I said give me a stout
Says the Dbarman, I'm sorry all the beer 'twas sold out
Try Emwhiskey or vodka, ten Gyears in the Dwood
Says EmI, I'll try Dcider, EmI've heard tDhat it's Emgood
[Chorus]
Oh Emnever, oh never, oh never again
If I Dlive to a hundred or a hundred and ten
I Emfell to the ground and I Gcouldn't get Dup
After Emdrinkin' a Dpint of the EmJohnny DJump EmUp
[Turnaround]

[Verse 2]
After Emlowering the third I headed straight for the yard
Where I Dbumped into Brophy the big civic guard
Come Emhere to me boy, don't you Gknow I'm the Dlaw
Well I Emupped with my Dfist and I Emshattered Dhis Emjaw
He Emfell to the ground with his knees doubled up
Wish it Dwasn't I hit him, for the Johnny Jump Up
And the Emnext thing I met down in GYoughal by the DSea
Was a Emcripple on Dcrutches, and Emsays he Dto Emme
I'm aEmfraid of me life I'll be hit by a car
Would you Dhelp me across to the Railwayman's Bar
And Emafter three pints of the Gcider so Dsweet
He Emthrew down his Dcrutches and he Emdanced at Dhis Emfeet
[Chorus]
Oh Emnever, oh never, oh never again
If I Dlive to a hundred or a hundred and ten
Cuz I Emfell to the ground and I Gcouldn't get Dup
After Emdrinkin' a Dpint of the EmJohnny DJump EmUp

[Verse 3]
Now I Emwent up the Lee road a friend for to see
They Dcall it the Madhouse in Cork by the Lee
But Emwhen I got up there, the Gtruth I do Dtell
They Emhad the poor Dbugger locked Emup in Dhis Emcell
Says the Emguard testing him, say these words if you can
'ADround the rugged rocks the ragged rascal ran'
Tell Emthem I'm not crazy, tell Gthem I'm not Dmad
'Twas Emonly six Dpints of that Emcider DI Emhad
[Turnaround]

[Verse 4]
Now a Emman died in the Union by the name of McNabb
They Dwashed him and placed him outside on a slab
And Emafter the coroner Ghis measurements Ddid take
His Emwife took him Dhome to a Embloody Dfine Emwake
'Twas Emabout twelve o'clock and the beer it was high
The Dcorpse he sat up and he says with a sigh
I Emcan't get to heaven, they Gwon't let me Dup
Till I Embring them a Dpint of the EmJohnny DJump EmUp
[Chorus]
Oh Emnever, oh never, oh never again
If I Dlive to a hundred or a hundred and ten
Cuz I Emfell to the ground and I Gcouldn't get Dup
After Emdrinkin' a Dpint of the EmJohnny DJump EmUp
Oh Emnever, oh never, oh never again
If I Dlive to a hundred or a hundred and ten
Cuz I Emfell to the ground and I Gcouldn't get Dup
After Emdrinkin' a Dpint of the EmJohnny DJump EmUp
(Morrison's Jig)
