    D                G               D        G    A          
Let grasses grow and water flow in a free and easy way, 
    D                     G                  D         A      D

At the foot of the hill there’s a neat little still where the smoke curls up to the sky
       D                            G                         D      A           D       
By the smoke and the smell, you can plainly tell that there’s poteen brewing nearby

It fills the air with odor rare that betwixt both me and you 
D                            G                D             A        D                
When home you stroll you can take a bowl or a bucket of the mountain dew

[CHORUS]

    D                G                 D         G       A          
Now learn-ed men who use the pen, have sung your praises high, 
     D                 G                D            A         D       
That sweet poteen from Ireland green, distilled from wheat and rye

Throw away your pills it’ll cure all ills, a pagan, Christian or Jew

Take off your coat and grease your throat with the real old Mountain Dew
