G
DOWN THE ROAD HERE FROM ME THERE’S AN OLD HOLLOW TREE
C G
WHERE YOU LAY DOWN A DOLLAR OR TWO
IF YOU HUSH UP YOUR MUG THEY WILL FILL UP YOUR JUG
D7 G
WITH THAT GOOD OLD MOUNTAIN DEW
– – CHORUS – –
G
THEY CALL IT THAT GOOD OLD MOUNTAIN DEW
C G
AND THEM THAT REFUSE IT ARE FEW
YOU MAY GO ROUND THE BEND
D7 G
BUT YOU’LL COME BACK AGAIN FOR THE GOOD OLD MOUNTAIN DEW
G
WAY UP ON THE HILL THERE’S AN OLD WHISKEY STILL
C G
THAT IS RUN BY A HARD WORKING CREW
YOU CAN TELL IF YOU SNIFF AND YOU GET A GOOD WHIFF
D7 G
THAT THEY’RE MAKING THAT OLD MOUNTAIN DEW
– – CHORUS – –
G
THE PREACHER CAME BY WITH A TEAR IN HIS EYE
C G
HE SAID THAT HIS WIFE HAD THE FLU
WE TOLD HIM HE OUGHT TO GIVE HER A QUART
D7 G
OF THAT GOOD OLD MOUNTAIN DEW
– – CHORUS – –
G
MY BROTHER MORT IS SAWED OFF AND SHORT
C G
HE MEASURES JUST FOUR FOOT TWO
BUT HE THINKS HE’S A GIANT WHEN THEY GIVE HIM A PINT
D7 G
OF THAT GOOD OLD MOUNTAIN DEW
– – CHORUS – –
G
MY UNCLE BILL HAS A STILL ON THE HILL
C G
WHERE HE RUNS OFF A GALLON OR TWO
THE BIRDS IN THE SKY GET SO HIGH THEY CAN’T FLY
D7 G
ON THAT GOOD OLD MOUNTAIN DEW
– – CHORUS – –
G
MY AUNT JANE HAS A BRAND NEW PERFUME
C G
IT HAS SUCH A SWEET SMELLING P U
IMAGINE HER SURPRISE WHEN SHE HAD IT ANALYZED
D7 G
IT WAS GOOD OLD MOUNTAIN DEW
– – CHORUS – –
