"Johnny Jump Up"
Song by Tadhg Jordan

"Johnny Jump Up" is an Irish drinking song by Tadhg Jordan from County Cork.[1] It was first popularized by Jimmy Crowley, and then brought to a wider audience by Christy Moore.[2]

Johnny Jump Up is a strong cider, apparently made stronger by being stored in old whiskey barrels. The song contains numerous local Cork references such as "Up The Lee Road," where a psychiatric hospital was located.[3]
