 G             C                
Let grasses and waters flow 
     G            D7 
In a free and easy way 
     G                   C                                                
But give me enough of the fine old stuff 
      G           D7     G 
That's brewed near Galway Bay
 G                                                                                     
And the policemen from Donegal 
                  C 
Sligo and Leitrim too 
 G                                C                                        
We'll give them the slip and We'll take a sip    
      G        D7       G 
Of the real old Mountain Dew


 G                          C                                                           
Hi di-diddly-idle-um  Diddly-doodle-idle-um 
       G             D7 
Diddly-doo-ri-diddlum-deh
 G                         C                                                             
Hi di-diddly-idle-um  Diddly-doodle-idle-um

 G                                                                         
At the foot of the hill 
         C  
There's a neat little still      
         G                    D7 
Where the smoke goes up to the sky,
 G                        C                                                   
By the smoke and the smell you can plainly tell    
            G      D7      G 
That there's poitin brewin' nearby.
 G                                                                                                      
For it fills the air with a odor rare         
                       C 
And betwixt both me and you,
   G                     C                                                   
As home we stroll, we can take a bowl      
    G            D7       G 
Or a bucket of the Mountain Dew


 G                          C                                                           
Hi di-diddly-idle-um  Diddly-doodle-idle-um 
       G             D7

 G                 C                                                             
Now learned men who use the pen      
    G                  D7 
Have wrote your praises high
 G                    C                                                     
There’s a sweet potein from Ireland green    
 G            D7        G 
Distilled from wheat and rye.
 G                                                                                                              
Throw away all pills pills it'll cure all ills    
                        C 
Be a Pagan, Christian or Jew,
  G                      C                                                              
So take off your coat and grease your throat     
      G            D7       G 
With a bucket of the Mountain Dew.
