Verse 2
C 
At the foot of the hill there's a
neat little still
where the smoke curls up to the sky.
From the smoke and the smell
Dm 
you can plainly tell
C 
there' s poteen brewin' nearby.
For it fills the air with a perfume rare.
Betwixt both you and me,
When home you roll you can take a bowl
F 
C 
or a bucket of the mountain dew.

And learned men as use the pen
F

have wrote your praises high.
Dm 
C 
F 
That sweet poteen from Ireland green,
C 
distilled from wheat and rye.
Throw away your pills,
it'll cure all ills,
be you pagan or christian or jew.
Take off your coat and grease your throat
with that real old mountain dew.
