St. George's Folly - Rare Ould Mountain Dew

Let the grasses grow and the waters flow
In a free and easy way
But give me enough of that fine old stuff
That comes from Galway Bay
Come gangers all, from Donegal, Sligo, Leitrim too
Yeah, well give them a slip and we can take a sip
Of the Rare Ould Mountain Dew
Ai-di-diddly-ai-di-dum, ai-di-diddly-ai-di-dum
Ai-di-dum-dai-diddly-ai-ey
Ai-di-diddly-ai-di-dum, ai-di-diddly-ai-di-dum
Ai-di-dum-dai-diddly-ai-ey
There's a neat little still at the foot of the hill
Where the smoke curls up to the sky
And by a whiff or smell
You can surely tell there's poitin boys nearby
For it fills the air with a perfume rare
And betwixt me and you
As home we roll, we can take a bowl
Or a bucket of the Mountain Dew
Ai-di-diddly-ai-di-dum, ai-di-diddly-ai-di-dum
Ai-di-dum-dai-diddly-ai-ey
Ai-di-diddly-ai-di-dum, ai-di-diddly-ai-di-dum
Ai-di-dum-dai-diddly-ai-ey
Now learned men have use the pen
And wrote their praises high
Of the rare poitin from Ireland green
Distilled from wheat and rye
Throw away your pills, it'll cure all ills
Be you pagan, christian, or jew
Throw off your coat and grease your throat
With a bucketful of Mountain Dew
Ai-di-diddly-ai-di-dum, ai-di-diddly-ai-di-dum
Ai-di-dum-dai-diddly-ai-ey
Ai-di-diddly-ai-di-dum, ai-di-diddly-ai-di-dum
Ai-di-dum-dai-diddly-ai-ey
Let the grasses grow and the waters flow
In a free and easy way
But give me enough of that fine old stuff
That comes from Galway Bay
Come gangers all, from Donegal, Sligo, Leitrim too
Yeah, well give them a slip and we can take a sip
Of the Rare Ould Mountain Dew
Ai-di-diddly-ai-di-dum, ai-di-diddly-ai-di-dum
Ai-di-dum-dai-diddly-ai-ey
Ai-di-diddly-ai-di-dum, ai-di-diddly-ai-di-dum
Ai-di-dum-dai-diddly-ai-ey
Ai-di-diddly-ai-di-dum, ai-di-diddly-ai-di-dum
Ai-di-dum-dai-diddly-ai-ey
Ai-di-diddly-ai-di-dum, ai-di-diddly-ai-di-dum
Ai-di-dum-dai-diddly-ai-ey
