MOUNTAIN DEW 
My brother Bill runs a still on the hill Where he turns out a gallon or two And the buzzards in the sky get so drunk they can't fly Just from sniffing that good old mountain dew. 
They call it that good old mountan dew, And them that refuse it are few. I'll hush up my mug if you'll fill up my jug With that good old mountain dew. 
My uncle Mort, he is sawed off and short, He measure 'bout four foot two, But he thinks he's a giant when you give him a pint Of that good old mountain dew. 
CHORUS 
You take a little trash and you mix it with ash, And you throw in the soul of a shoe, Then you stir it awhile with an old rusty file, And they call it that good old mountain dew. 
CHORUS 
During the war we couldn't get any more, We didn't have no sugar for the dew With a few old potaters and a few ripe tomaters, We turned out some stuff, I'm tellin' you 
CHORUS 
I know a guy named Pete, his hair ain't so neat, Though he fixes it with syrup and blue, But it stays right in place when he uses just a trace Of that good old mountain dew. 
CHORUS 
Old Auntie June had a brand new perfume, It had such a wonderful "pew" But to her surprise, when she had it analyzed, It was nothing but that good old mountain dew 
CHORUS Old Deacon Crane took a trip in the rain, Said his wife had come down with the flu, And hadn't I ought just to give him a quart Of that good old mountain dew. 
CHORUS 
There's an old hollow tree just a little way from me Where you lay down a dollar or two If you hush up your mug, then they'll give you a jug Of that good old mountain dew 
CHORUS 
Mr Roosevelt told me just how he felt The day that the dry law went through: If your likker's too red, it will swell up your head Better stick to that good old mountain dew 
CHORUS 
The preacher walks by with a tear in his eye Said that his wife had the flu She'll be alright if you give her a pint Of that good old mountain dew 
My uncle Klaus had a real mean old mouse When they asked how it happened, He said it was a lappin' That good old mountain dew
