Mountain Dew

Mountain Dew - Clancy Brothers

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

Just give me enough of the fine old stuff

That's brewed near Galway Bay

And policemen all from Donegal

Sligo and Leitrim too

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

And smoke twirls up to the sky

For the smoke and the smell its plan to tell

That there's poteen brewing near by

It fills the air with odor 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 sung the praises high

That sweet poteen from Ireland green

Distilled from wheat and rye

Throw away your pills it will cure all ills

Of pagan the 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
