Dubliners - Rare Old Mountain Dew lyrics

rate me

Let grasses grow and waters flow in a free and easy way, <br />

But give me enough of the fine old stuff that's made near Galway Bay,<br />

And policemen all from Donegal,Sligo and Leitrim too,<br />

Oh, we'll give them the slip and we'll take a sip<br />

Of the rare old Mountain Dew<br />

<br />

Chorus<br />

<br />

Hi di-diddly-idle-um, diddly-doodle-idle-um,diddly-doo-ri-diddlum-deh <br />

Hi di-diddly-idle-um, diddly-doodle-idle-um,diddly-doo-ri-diddlum-deh<br />

<br />

At the foot of the hill there's a neat little still,<br />

Where the smoke curls up to the sky,<br />

By the smoke and the smell you can plainly tell<br />

That there's poitin brewin’ nearby.<br />

For it fills the air with an aura rare,<br />

And betwixt both me and you,<br />

As home you troll, you can take a bowl,<br />

Or a bucket of the Mountain Dew<br />

<br />

Chorus<br />

<br />

Now learned men who use the pen,<br />

Have wrote your praises high<br />

Of the rare poitin from Ireland green,<br />

Distilled from wheat and rye.<br />

throw away your pills, it'll cure all ills,<br />

Of Pagan, Christian or Jew,<br />

So take off your coat and grease your throat<br />

With the rare old Mountain Dew.<br />

<br />

Chorus
