(That Good Old Mountain Dew)

By Grandpa Jones & Smokey River Boys

Sung "live" from the Grand Ole Opry

There's a big holler tree.. down the road here from me…

Where ya lay down a dollar or two….

Well you go round the bend… and when you come back again..

There's a jug full o' good ole mountain dew

O.. they call it that ole mountain dew….

And them that refuse it are few….

I'll shut up my mug….. if you fill up my jug….

With some good ole mountain dew.

Now my uncle Nort, he's sawed off and short…

He measures about four foot two…

But he thinks he's a giant…. when you give him a pint…

Of that good ole mountain dew…..

Well my ole aunt Jill…. bought some brand new perfume…

It had such a sweet smellin' pew…..

But to her surprise….. when she had it analyzed…

It was nothin but good ole mountain dew.

... dum dee dum dum dee dum dee dum

Well the preacher rolled by…. with his head heisted high…

Said his wife had been down with the flu….

And he thought that I ought…. just uh sell him a quart…

Of that good ole mountain dew.

Turn-A-Round: Fiddle

Well my brother Bill's…. got a still on the hill…

Where he runs off a gallon or two.

Now the buzzards in the sky…. get so drunk they can't fly…

From smellin' that good ole mountain dew.

O.. they call it that ole mountain dew….

And them that refuse it are few….

I'll shut up my mug….. if you fill up my jug….

With some good ole mountain dew.
