(Whistling chorus)

    D                G                D
Let grasses grow and waters flow in a free
         A
and easy way,
    D                  G
But give me enough for the finer stuff
      D         A      D
that's made near Galway Bay.
    D                  G        D
And policeman all from Donegal, Sligo
            G
and Leitrim too.
          D
Oh, we'll give them the slip then we'll
G                 D        A        D
take a sip of the rare old mountain dew.

       D                          G
At the foot of the hill there's a neat little
                D                     A
still where the smoke curls up to the sky,
       D                           G
By the smoke and the smell you can clearly
                  D      A           D
tell that there's poitin brewin' nearby.
       D                  G
For it fills the air with aura rare
  D                 G
betwixt both me and you.
   D                       G
As home you troll, you can take a bowl
     D             A        D
or a bucket of the mountain dew

    D               G
Now learned men who use the pen
     D                  A
have wrote your praises high,
       D                G
Of the rare poitin from Ireland green
D              A         D
distilled from wheat and rye.
      D                      G
Throw away your pills, it'll cure all
        D                    G
ills of pagan, christian, or jew.
     D                 G
Take off your coat and grease your
                D        A        D
throat with the rare old mountain dew.
