The Pogues, The Dubliners - The Rare Ould Mountain Dew lyrics

Ah, let grasses grow and waters flow
In a free and easy way
But give me enough of the rare old
Stuff that's made near Galway Bay
Come gangers all from Donegal
Sligo and Leitrim too
And we'll give 'em the slip and we'll take
A sip of the rare old Mountain Dew

Hi the dithery al the dal
Dal the dal the dithery al
Al the dal, dal dithery al dee
Hi the dithery al the dal
Dal the dal the dithery al
Dal the dal, dal dithery al dee

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 hat 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

Hi the dithery al the dal
Dal the dal the dithery al
Al the dal, dal dithery al dee
Hi the dithery al the dal
Dal the dal the dithery al
Dal the dal, dal dithery al dee

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 your pills, it'll cure
All ills, be ye Pagan, christian or Jew
Take off your coat and grease your throat
With a bucketful of Mountain Dew

Hi the dithery al the dal
Dal the dal the dithery al
Al the dal, dal dithery al dee
Hi the dithery al the dal
Dal the dal the dithery al
Dal the dal, dal dithery al dee

Let grasses grow and waters flow in
A free and easy way
Give me enough of the rare old
Stuff that's made near Galway Bay
Come gangers all from Donegal
Sligo and Leitrim too
And we'll give 'em the slip and we'll take
A sip of the rare old Mountain Dew

Hi the dithery al the dal
Dal the dal the dithery al
Al the dal, dal dithery al dee
Hi the dithery al the dal
Dal the dal the dithery al
Dal the dal, dal dithery al dee

Hi the dithery al the dal
Dal the dal the dithery al
Al the dal, dal dithery al dee
Hi the dithery al the dal
Dal the dal the dithery al
Dal the dal, dal dithery al dee
