The Devil Drink Cider

I'll tell you a story that happened to me
One day as I went down to Youghal by the sea
The Sun it was bright and the day is was warm
Says I an auld pint woudn't do me no harm

I went in an I called for a bottle of stout
Says the barman I'm sorry the beer is sould out
Try whiskey or Paddy ten years in the wood
Says I I'll try cider I've heard that it's good

O never, O never, O never again
If I live to hundred or a hundred and ten
I fell to the floor and I coudn't get up
After drinking a pint of old Jaysus Jump Up

After drinkin' a quart I went out to the yard
Where I met up with Brophy the big local guard
Come here to me boy don't you know I'm the law
Well, I up with me fist and I shattered his jaw

We fell to the floor and we couldn't get up
But it wasn't me kissed his t'was the Jaysus Jump up
And the next thing I met down in Youghal by the sea
Was a poor man on crutches and says he to me

O never, O never, O never again
If I live to hundred or a hundred and ten
I fell to the floor and I coudn't get up
After drinking a pint of old Jaysus Jump Up

I'm afraid of me life I'll be hit by a car
Won't you help me across to the Celtic Knot Bar?
After downing a quart of that cider so sweet
He threw down his crutches and danced on his feet

I heard of a lad who forgot his own name
He was clever when younger, the locals explained
His name is was Fagan, he'd swear it was Flynn
That Jaysus Jump Up fairly done his head in

O never, O never, O never again
If I live to hundred or a hundred and ten
I fell to the floor and I coudn't get up
After drinking a pint of old Jaysus Jump Up

So if ever you go down to Youghal by the sea
Stay out of the pub and please take it from me
If you want to stay sane don't you dare take a sup
Of that devil drink cider called Jaysus Jump Up

O never, O never, O never again
If I live to hundred or a hundred and ten
I fell to the floor and I coudn't get up
After drinking a pint of old Jaysus Jump Up
