Mountain Dew
Midi music from: http://hjem.get2net.dk/poul/mountain_dew.mid
Down the road from me,
there’s an old holler tree,
Where you lay down a dollar or two (or two).
You go ‘round the bend, and you come back again,
And there’s a jug of that Good Old Mountain Dew.
Chorus:
They call it that Good Old Mountain Dew! Mountain Dew!
And them that refuse it are few (dern few),
I'll hush up my mug if you fill up my jug
With that Good Old Mountain Dew.
My Uncle Mort, he is sawed
off and short,
Stands about three foot two,
But you'd think he's a giant after he's had a pint
Of that Good Old Mountain Dew.
Repeat CHORUS
My Uncle Bill has a still
on the hill
Where he brews up a gallon or two.
The buzzards in the sky, get so drunk they can't fly
Just from sniffin’ that Good Old Mountain Dew.
Repeat CHORUS
My Uncle Ed, he was short
in the head,
He couldn't add two plus two,
But he's smart as a whip since he had a sip
Of that Good Old Mountain Dew.
Repeat CHORUS
My Uncle Fred has a brown
little shed,
Wit seats built in it for two,
But you can't get in no more cuz it's filled to the door,
With that Good Old Mountain Dew.
Repeat CHORUS
My Uncle Frank was as
fat as a tank,
His rear end gave us quite a view..
But he sure did lose pounds after a couple of rounds
Of that Good Old Mountain Dew.
Repeat CHORUS
My Auntie June went and
bought some perfume,
It had such a wonderful 'pew' (pee-ew)
Can you imagine her surprise when she had it analyzed,
And found it was only Good Old Mountain Dew.
Repeat CHORUS
My Uncle Hank bought an
old army tank
Way back in 'forty two (or three).
It wouldn't budge, 'till he gave it a gludge
Of that Good Old Mountain Dew.

Not even a word or two.
But ya should have heard him swear when he's had his share
Of that Good Old Mountain Dew.

coffee mug,
Worth about a quarter or two,
But the price sure went up when he filled his cup up

But he'd sure let them pass after he had a glass,

and you mix it up with ash,
And you throw in the soul of a shoe.
