[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][F][Bb]
[C]

[Verse 1]
Let grasses grow [C]and
waters flow
in a free and easy way.
[Gm]Just give [C]me enough
of that fine old [F]stuff
that's [C]made near Galway Bay.
And peelers all from Donegal,
Sligo and [Dm]Leitrum, too.
We'll [C]give them the slip
and we'll have a sip
[F]of that rea[C]l old mou[Dm]ntain
[C]dew.
Hi the diddly idle [Am]um di[F]dd[C]ly doo idle um,
diddly doo rah diddly- i- day
Hi [F]the [C]diddly idle um diddly doo
idle um, diddly doo rah diddly- i- day

[Verse 2]
At the foot of the hill [C]there's a
neat little still
where the smoke curls up to the sky.
From the smoke and the smell
you can [Dm]plainly tell
there' s [C]poteen brewin' nearby.
For it fills the air with a perfume rare.
Betwixt both you and me,
When home you roll you can take a bowl
[F]or a bucket of the mou[C]ntain dew.
Hi the [Dm]diddly idle [C]um [F]diddly doo idle um,
[C]diddlydoo rah diddly- i- day
Hi the diddly idle um diddly doo
idle um, diddly doo rah diddly- i- day

[Verse 3]
And learned men as [C]use the pen
[F]have wro[C]te your praises high.
[Dm]That[C] sweet poteen from Ireland green[F],
distilled from [C]wheat and rye.
Throw away your pills,
it'll cure all ills,
be you pagan or christian or jew.
Take off your coat and grease your throat
with that real old mountain dew.
Hi the diddly idle um diddly doo idle [F]um,
[C]diddly doo rah diddly- i- day
[Dm]Hi t[C]he diddly idle um diddly doo i[Am]dle um[Dm],[F]
diddly doo [C]rah diddly- i- day
