Where you can lay down a dollar or two

You can go round the bend and when you come back again,

There's a jug full of good old mountain dew.

Where he runs off a gallon there two.

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 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.

With a few old potaters and a few ripe tomaters,

The day the old dry law went through:
If your likker's too red, it will swell up your head

It ran on a gallon or two.
It didn't need no gas and it didn't need no oil,
