\beginverse
|
||
|
|
Let the grasses grow, and the waters flow,
|
||
|
|
in a free and easy way,
|
||
|
|
But give me enough of the rare old stuff
|
||
|
|
That's made near Galway Bay.
|
||
|
|
Oh peelers all, from Donegal,
|
||
|
|
Galway and Etrim too
|
||
|
|
We'll give them a slip and we'll take a sip
|
||
|
|
Of the rare old Mountain Dew
|

\beginverse
|
||
|
|
There's a neat little still at the foot of the hill,
|
||
|
|
Where the smoke curls up to the sky.
|
||
|
|
By the smoke and the smell you can plainly tell,
|
||
|
|
That there's whiskey brewing nearby.
|
||
|
|
For it fills the air with odor rare,
|
||
|
|
And betwixt both me and you,
|
||
|
|
When home we roll, we can drink a bowl,
|
||
|
|
Or a bucketful of Mountain Dew.
|
||

\beginverse
|
||
|
|
Now learned men as use the pen
|
||
|
|
Who've wrote your praises high,
|
||
|
|
This sweet 'pocheen' (potion) from Ireland's green
|
||
|
|
Distilled from wheat and rye.
|
||
|
|
Throw away your pills - it'll cure all ills
|
||
|
|
Of Pagan or Christian or Jew.
|
||
|
|
Take off your coat and free your throat
|
||
|
|
With the rare old Mountain Dew.
