Mountain Dew (with the Dubliners) |
Let grasses grow and waters flow |
In a free and easy way |
But give me enough of the rare old stuff |
That’s made near Galway Bay |
Come galgers all from Donegal |
Sligo and Leitrim too |
Oh, we’ll give the slip and we’ll take a sip |
Of the rare old Mountain Dew |
Hi the dithery al the dal, dal the dal the dithery al, al the dal, |
dal dithery al dee |
Hi the dithery al the dal, dal the dal the dithery al, dal the dal, |
dal dithery al dee |
There’s a neat little still at the foot of the hill |
Where the smoke curls up to the sky |
By a whiff of the smell you can plainly tell |
That there’s poitin, boys, close by |
For it fills the air with a perfume rare |
And betwixt both me and you |
As home we roll, we can drink a bowl |
Or a bucketful of Mountain Dew |
Hi the dithery al the dal, dal the dal the dithery al, al the dal, |
dal dithery al dee |
Hi the dithery al the dal, dal the dal the dithery al, dal the dal, |
dal dithery al dee |
Now learned men as use the pen |
Have writ the praises high |
Of the rare poitin from Ireland green |
Distilled from wheat and rye |
Away with yer pills, it’ll cure all ills |
Be ye Pagan, Christian or Jew |
So take off your coat and grease your throat |
With a bucketful of Mountain Dew |
