The Dubliners, The Pogues - Mountain Dew lyrics

Let the grasses grow and the waters flow
In a free and easy way
Just give me enough of the fine old
Stuff that's brewed near Galway Bay
Come gougers all from Donegal
Sligo and Leitrim too
We'll give them the slip and we'll take a
Sip of the rare old mountain dew

Skid ree Idle-diddle dum skid
Ree Idle-diddle dum
Skid ree Idle dum diddle dum day
Skid ree Idle-diddle dum skid
Ree Idle-diddle dum
Skid ree Idle dum diddle dum day

There's a neat little still at
The foot of the hill
And smoke twirls up to the sky
For the smoke and the smell
It's plan to tell that there's
Poteen brewing near by
It fills the air, with an odor rare
And betwixt both me and you
When home you stroll, you can take a bowl
Or a bucket of the mountain dew

Skid ree Idle-diddle dum skid
Ree Idle-diddle dum
Skid ree Idle dum diddle dum day
Skid ree Idle-diddle dum skid
Ree Idle-diddle dum
Skid ree Idle dum diddle dum day

Now learned men who use the pen
Have written their praises high
That sweet poteen from Ireland green
Distilled from wheat and rye
Throw away your pills it will cure
All ills, of the pagan, the Christian or Jew
Take off your coat and grease your throat
With the real old mountain dew

Skid ree Idle-diddle dum skid
Ree Idle-diddle dum
Skid ree Idle dum diddle dum day
Skid ree Idle-diddle dum skid
Ree Idle-diddle dum
Skid ree Idle dum diddle dum day

Let the grasses grow and the waters flow
In a free and easy way
Just give me enough of the fine old
Stuff that's brewed near Galway Bay
Come gougers all from Donegal
Sligo and Leitrim too
We'll give them the slip and we'll take a
Sip of the rare old mountain dew

Skid ree Idle-diddle dum skid
Ree Idle-diddle dum
Skid ree Idle dum diddle dum day
Skid ree Idle-diddle dum skid
Ree Idle-diddle dum
Skid ree Idle dum diddle dum day

Skid ree Idle-diddle dum skid
Ree Idle-diddle dum
Skid ree Idle dum diddle dum day
Skid ree Idle-diddle dum skid
Ree Idle-diddle dum
Skid ree Idle dum diddle dum day
