One \[C]day as I went down to Cork by the sea
|

|
|
The \[Dm]sun it was hot and the \[F]day it was \[C]warm,

Says \[Dm]I a quiet \[C]pint wouldn't \[Dm]do me \[C]no \[Dm]harm

I went in and I called for a bottle of stout
|
||

Says the barman, I'm sorry, all the beer is sold out
|

|
Try whiskey or paddy, ten years in the wood
|
||
|

Says I, I'll try cider, I've heard it was good.

After downing the third I went out to the yard
|
||

Well, I up with me fist and I shattered his jaw

He fell to the ground with his knees doubled up
|
||
|
|
But it wasn't I hit him, 'twas Johnny Jump Up
|

Was a cripple on crutches and says he to me

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 went up the lee road, a friend for to see
|
||
|
|
They call it the madhouse in Cork by the Sea
|

Butl when I got there, sure the truth I will tell,

"Around the rugged rock the ragged rascal ran"

Well, a man died in the mines by the name of McNabb
|

They washed him and laid him outside on the slab

And after the parlors measurements did take
|

His wife brought him home to a bloody fine wake
