Mountain Dew

Mountain Dew - The Clancy Brothers/Tommy Makem

Hi di-diddly-idle-um diddly-doodle-idle-um diddly-doo-ri-diddlum-deh

Hi di-diddly-idle-um diddly-doodle-idle-um diddly-doo-ri-diddlum-deh

Let grasses grow and waters flow in a free and easy way

But give me enough of the rare old stuff that's brewed near galway bay

Come policemen all from donegal sligo and leitrim too

Oh we'll give them the slip and we'll take a sip

Of the rare old mountain dew

Hi di-diddly-idle-um diddly-doodle-idle-um diddly-doo-ri-diddlum-deh

Hi di-diddly-idle-um diddly-doodle-idle-um diddly-doo-ri-diddlum-deh

At the foot of the hill there's a neat little still

Where the smoke curls up to the sky

By the smoke and the smell you can plainly tell

That there's poteen brewin' nearby

For it fills the air with a odeur rare

And betwixt both me and you

When home you stroll you can take a bowl

Or a bucket of the mountain dew

Hi di-diddly-idle-um diddly-doodle-idle-um diddly-doo-ri-diddlum-deh

Hi di-diddly-idle-um diddly-doodle-idle-um diddly-doo-ri-diddlum-deh

Now learned men who use the pen

Have loger the praises high

The sweet poteen from ireland green

Distilled from wheat and rye

Throw away with your pills it'll cure all ills

Be ye pagan christian or jew

Take off your coat and grease your throat

With the real old mountain dew

Hi di-diddly-idle-um diddly-doodle-idle-um diddly-doo-ri-diddlum-deh

Hi di-diddly-idle-um diddly-doodle-idle-um diddly-doo-ri-diddlum-deh

Hi di-diddly-idle-um diddly-doodle-idle-um diddly-doo-ri-diddlum-deh

Hi di-diddly-idle-um diddly-doodle-idle-um diddly-doo-ri-diddlum-deh

Hi di-diddly-idle-um diddly-doodle-idle-um diddly-doo-ri-diddlum-deh

Hi di-diddly-idle-um diddly-doodle-idle-um diddly-doo-ri-diddlum-deh
