A Bucket of Mountain Dew G | | | |C Let grasses grow and waters flow in a free and easy way |G |C |G D |G But give me enough of the rare old stuff that’s made near Galway Bay | | | |C And policemen all from Donegal, Sligo and Leitrim too |G |C |G |D |G We’ll give them the slip and we’ll take a sip of the real old Mountain Dew There’s a neat little still at the foot of the hill; Where the smoke curls up to the sky By a whiff of the smell you can plainly tell; That there’s poitin boys close by For it fills the air with a perfume rare; And betwixt both me and you As home we roll, we can drink a bowl; Or a bucketful of mountain dew Now learned men as use the pen; Have writ the praises high Of the rare poitin from Ireland green; Distilled from wheat and rye Away with yer pills, it’ll cure all ills; Be ye Pagan, Christian or Jew So take off your coat and grease your throat; With a bucketful of mountain dew
