Strum
D-DU-UDU
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
Oh  peelers all, from Donegal,  Galway and Etrim too,
We'll  give them the slip and  we'll take a sip of the rare  old mountain  dew
 At the foot of the hill there's a neat little still, where the smoke curles up to the sky,
 By the smoke and the smell you can plainly tell that there's whisky brewing nearby
 For it fills the air with odor rare, and betwixt both me and you,
 When home you roll you can take a bowl and a bucket full of mountain dew
 Now learned men who use the pen, who've wrote your praises high,
 This sweet "pocheen" from Ireland's green, distilled from wheat and rye
 Throw away your pills, it'll cure all ills of Pagan, Christian and Jew
 Take off your and free your throat with the rare old mountain dew
