Mountain Dew

Mountain Dew - Carlyle Fraser

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 fine old stuff

That's made near Galway Bay

And 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 poitin brewin' nearby

For it fills the air with odor rare

That betwixt both me and you

As home we stroll we 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 that men who use the pen

Have wrote your praises high

Of the sweet poitin from Ireland green

Distilled from wheat and rye

Put away with your pills it'll cure all ills

Ye Pagan Christian or Jew

So take off your coat and grease your throat

With 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

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

But give me enough of the fine old stuff

That's made near Galway Bay

And 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
