***Rare Old Mountain Dew - Traditional from the "Irish Rover" single Rare Old Mountain Dew - as perfomed by The Pogues & The Dubliners (these lyrics are from a more traditional version and will vary slightly from the version by the Pogues and the Dubliners)
Where Fgrasses grow and Bbwaters flow In a Ffree and easy Cway, But Fgive me enough of that Bbrare old stuff That's Fmade near CGalway FBay. And policemen all from Donegal, Sligo and Leitrim Dmtoo, We'll Fgive them a slip and we'll Bbtake a sip Of the Frare ould CMountain FDew.
[chorus] Hi the dithery idle loo, ditheri oodle idle loo dithery oo di dithery i day Hi the dither idlo loo, ditheri oodle idle loo Dithery oo di dithery i day At the top of the hill there's a neat little still, Where the smoke curls up in the sky; By the smoke and the smell you can plainly tell That there's poteen brewing nearby; It fills the air with an odor rare And betwixt both me and you, When home we roll we'll take a bowl Or a bucket of the Mountain Dew. [chorus] Now learned men who use the pen They sing your praises high That sweet poteen from Ireland green Distilled from wheat and rye; Throw away your pills, it will cure all ills Pagan or Christian or Jew Take off your coat and grease your throat With the rare ould Mountain Dew
