Artist/Band: Traditional Tabs
Song: Mountain Dew Tab
I grew up in the 40's listening to my Grandpa play the banjo and sing
this tune. I don't know who to attribute it to. I have since passed
it on to my children and grandchildren who love to play along as I
sing it. As far as I know it's a traditional mountain song.
THAT OL MOUNTAIN DEW
D
DOWN THE ROAD FROM ME THERE�S AN OLD HOLLER TREE,
G D
WHERE YOU LAY DOWN A DOLLAR OR TWO.
THEN YOU GO AROUND THE BEND AND WHEN YOU COME BACK AGAIN,
A7 D
THERE�S A JUG FULL OF THAT GOOD OL MOUNTAIN DEW.
(chorus) D
WELL, THEY CALL IT THAT OL MOUNTAIN DEW, DEW, DEW,
G D
AND THEM THAT REFUSE IT ARE FEW.
I�LL HUSH UP MY MUG IF YOU�LL FILL UP MY JUG,
A7 D
WITH THAT GOOD OL MOUNTAIN DEW.
MY UNCLE BILL�S GOT A STILL ON THE HILL,
WHERE HE RUNS OFF A GALLON OR TWO.
AND THE BIRDS IN THE SKY GET SO DRUNK THEY CAN�T FLY,
FROM SMELLING THAT GOOD OL MOUNTAIN DEW.
THE PARSON WALKED BY WITH HIS HEAD HIESTED HIGH,
SAID HIS WIFE HAD COME DOWN WITH THE FLU.
AND HE THOUGHT THAT I ORGHT TO GIVE HIM A QUART,
OF THAT GOOD OL MOUNTAIN DEW.
MY UNCLE MORT�S KIND OF SAWED OFF AND SHORT,
HE�S ONLY ABOUT FOUR FOOT TWO.
BUT HE FEELS LIKE A GIANT WHEN HE GETS HIM A PINT,
OF THAT GOOD OL MOUNTAIN DEW.
