Am Am
I'll tell you a story that happened to me
G Am G Am Asus2 Am Asus2
One day as I went down to Youghal by the sea
Am Am
The sun it was high and the day it was warm
G Am G Am Asus2 Am Asus2
Says I a quiet pint wouldn't do me no harm
[Verse 2]
Am
I went in and I called for a bottle of stout
G Am G Am
Says the barman I'm sorry all the beer 't'was sold out
Am
Try whiskey or Paddy ten years in the wood
G Am G Am
Says I I'll try cider I've heard that it's good
[Chorus]
Am
O never O never O never again
G Am G Am
If I live to a hundred or a hundred and ten
Am
I fell to the floor and I couldn't get up
G Am G Am
After drinking a pint of old Johnny Jump Up
[Verse 3]
Am
After drinkin' a quart I went out to the yard
G Am G Am
Where I bumped into Brophy the big local guard
Am
Come here to me boy don't you know I'm the law
G Am G Am
So I gave him a kiss on his stubbly old jaw
[Verse 4]
Am
We fell to the floor and we couldn't get up
G Am G Am
But it wasn't me kissed him t'was the Johnny Jump Up
Am
And the next thing I met down in Youghal by the sea
G Am G Am
Was a poor man on crutches and says he to me
[Verse 5]
Am
I'm afraid of me life I'll get hit by a car
