Biography:
Gaelic Storm is a highly-acclaimed Celtic band. Their music ranges from traditional Irish and Scottish music to original tunes, in both the Celtic traditions. Gaelic Storm's origins can be traced back to 1996, when Patrick Murphy and Steve Wehmeyer joined with Steve Twigger and Uillean piper Brian Walsh to perform at O'Brien's Irish Pub and Restaurant in Santa Monica, California, of which Murphy was the manager. This led to a number of pub performances for the next year.

[Verse 1]
Em
I'll tell ye a story that happened to me
D
One day as I went out to Youghal by the Sea
Em G D
The sun it was bright and the day it was warm
Em D Em D Em
Says I, A quiet pint wouldn't do me no harm
Em
I went to the barman, I says give me a stout
D
Says the barman, I'm sorry all the beer is sold out
Em G D
Try whiskey or vodka, ten years in the wood
Em D Em D Em
Says I, I'll try cider, I heard that it's good
[Chorus]
Em
Oh never, oh never, oh never again
D
If I live to a hundred or a hundred and ten
Em G D
I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up
Em D Em D Em
After drinking a pint of the Johnny Jump Up
[Verse 2]
Em
After lowering the third I headed straight for the yard
D
Where I bumped into Brophy the big civic guard
Em G D
He says come here to me boy, don't you know I'm the law
Em D Em D Em
Well I upped with my fist and I shattered his jaw
Em
He fell to the ground with his knees crumpled up
D
But it wasn't I hit him, t'was the johnny jump
Em G D
And the next thing I met down in Youghal by the Sea
Em D Em D Em
Was a cripple on crutches, and says he to me
Em
I'm afraid o' me life I'll be hit by a car
D
Would you help me across to the Railwayman's Bar
Em G D
And after three pints of the cider so sweet
Em D Em D Em
He threw down his crutches and he danced on his feet
[Chorus]
Em
Oh never, oh never, oh never again
D
If I live to a hundred or a hundred and ten
Em G D
I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up
Em D Em D Em
After drinking a pint of the Johnny Jump Up
[Verse 3]
Em
Now I went up the Lee road a friend for to see
D
They call it the Madhouse in Cork by the Lee
Em G D
But when I got up there, the truth I do tell
Em D Em D Em
They had the poor bugger locked up in his cell
Em
Says the guard testing him, say these words if you can
D
'Around the rugged rocks the ragged rascal ran'
Em G D
Tell them I'm not crazy, tell them I'm not mad
Em D Em D Em
T'was only six pints of that cider I had
Em
Now a man died in the Union by the name of Mcnabb
D
They washed him and laid him outside on a slab
Em G D
And after the parlors measurements did take
Em D Em D Em
His wife took him home to a bloody fine wake
Em
'Twas about twelve o'clock and the beer it was high
D
The corpse he sat up and he says with a sigh
Em G D
I can't get to heaven, they won't let me up
Em D Em D Em
Till I bring them a pint of the Johnny Jump Up
[Chorus]
Em
Oh never, oh never, oh never again
D
If I live to a hundred or a hundred and ten
Em G D
I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up
Em D Em D Em
After drinking a pint of the Johnny Jump Up

Oh never, oh never, oh never again
