Lyrics Rare Old Mountain Dew

Let grasses grow and waters flow in a free and an easy way
But give me enough of the fine old stuff that's brewed near Galway Bay
Come policemen all from Donegal
From Sligo and Leitrim too
We'll give them the slip and we'll take a little sip of the rare old mountain dew
Hi dididdly idle-um
Diddlydoodle idle-um
Diddlydoo rididdlydum deh
Hi dididdly idle-um
Diddlydoodle idle-um
Diddlydoo rididdlydum deh
At the foot of the hill there's a neat old little still where the smoke curls up to the sky
With the smoke and the smell you can plainly tell there's poitin brewin' nearby
For it fills the air with a perfume rare to bewitch both me and you
While home you stroll you can take a bowl or a bucket of the mountain dew
Hi dididdly idle-um
Diddlydoodle idle-um
Diddlydoo rididdlydum deh
Hi dididdly idle-um
Diddlydoodle idle-um
Diddlydoo rididdlydum deh
Now the glass that cheers is sweet and clear like the honey from the bee
There's nothin' finer or this sublime you can set your senses free
And your cares and woes all away they'll flow when you try a drop or two
Be it day or night you can take delight in the rare old mountain dew
Hi dididdly idle-um
Diddlydoodle idle-um
Diddlydoo rididdlydum deh
Hi dididdly idle-um
Diddlydoodle idle-um
Diddlydoo rididdlydum deh
Now learned men who use the pen have wrote their praises high
Of the sweet poitin from Ireland green distilled from wheat and rye
Put away your pills
It'll cure all ills of the Pagan, the Christian or Jew
Take off your coat and grease your throat with the rare old mountain dew
Hi dididdly idle-um
Diddlydoodle idle-um
Diddlydoo rididdlydum deh
Hi dididdly idle-um
Diddlydoodle idle-um
Diddlydoo rididdlydum deh
Hi dididdly idle-um
Diddlydoodle idle-um
Diddlydoo rididdlydum deh
Hi dididdly idle-um
Diddlydoodle idle-um
Diddlydoo rididdlydum deh
