Lyrics Good Old Mountain Dew - Roy Acuff

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 not 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 aunt Lucille had an automobile,
It ran on a gallon or two.
It didn't need no gas and it didn't need no oil,
It just ran on that good old mountain 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.

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.

It had such a wonderful "pew"
But to her surprise, when she had it analyzed,
It was nothing but that good old mountain 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.

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.

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.

Said that his wife had the flu
And hadn't I ought just to give him a quart
Of that good old mountain 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.

When they asked how it happened,

With that good old mountain dew.

Where you lay down a dollar or two
If you hush up your mug, then they'll give you a jug

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.

And them that refuse it are few.

We didn't have no sugar for the dew
With a few old potaters and a few ripe tomaters,

And them that refuse it are few.

The day the old dry law went through:
If your likker's too red, it will swell up your head
Better stick to that good old mountain dew
