Lyrics

Hey di-diddly-idle-um, diddly-doodle-idle-dum
Diddly-doo-ri-diddly-di-day
Hi di-diddly-idle-um, diddly-doodle-idle-dum
Diddly-doo-ri-diddly-di-day
Let grasses grow and waters flow
In a free and easy way
But give me enough of the fine old stuff
That's made near Galway Bay
And policemen all from Donegal
Sligo and Leitrim too
We'll give them the slip and we'll take a sip
Of the real old Mountain Dew
Hey di-diddly-idle-um, diddly-doodle-idle-dum
Diddly-doo-ri-diddly-di-day
Hi di-diddly-idle-um, diddly-doodle-idle-dum
Diddly-doo-ri-diddly-di-day
At the foot of the hill there's a neat little still
Where the smoke curls up to the sky
By the smoke and the smell you can plainly tell
That there's potcheen brewin' nearby
For it fills the air with odour rare
And betwixt both me and you
When home you stroll, you can take a bowl
Or a bucket of the Mountain Dew
Hey di-diddly-idle-um, diddly-doodle-idle-dum
Diddly-doo-ri-diddly-di-day
Hi di-diddly-idle-um, diddly-doodle-idle-dum
Diddly-doo-ri-diddly-di-day
Now learn men who use the pen
Have wrote your praises high
The sweet potcheen from Ireland green
Distilled from wheat and rye
Throw away your pills, it'll cure all ills
Of Pagan or Christian or Jew
Take off your coat and grease your throat
With the real old Mountain Dew
Hey di-diddly-idle-um, diddly-doodle-idle-dum
Diddly-doo-ri-diddly-di-day
Hi di-diddly-idle-um, diddly-doodle-idle-dum
Diddly-doo-ri-diddly-di-day
Hey di-diddly-idle-um, diddly-doodle-idle-dum
Diddly-doo-ri-diddly-di-day
Hi di-diddly-idle-um, diddly-doodle-idle-dum
Diddly-doo-ri-diddly-di-day, hi-hey!
