Bascom Lamar Lunsford, Scotty Wiseman

Key of G · Chords: I IV V

Verse 1

G
There’s a big hollow tree down the road here from me
C                              G
Where you lay down a dollar or two
G
You stroll ’round the bend and you come back again
G                     D                 G
There’s a jug full of good old mountain dew

Chorus

G
They call it that mountain dew
C                           G
And them that refuse it are few
G
I’ll hush up my mug if you fill up my jug
G         D                 G
With that good old mountain dew

Verse 2

G
My uncle Mort, he’s sawed off and short
C                           G
He measures about four foot two
G
But he thinks he’s a giant when you give him a pint
G       D                 G
Of that good old mountain dew

(Chorus)

Verse 3

G
Well, my old aunt June bought some brand new perfume
C                            G
It had such a sweet smelling pew
G
But to her surprise when she had it analyzed
G                  D                 G
It was nothing but good old mountain dew

(Chorus)

Verse 4

G
Well, my brother Bill’s got a still on the hill
C                             G
Where he runs off a gallon or two
G
The buzzards in the sky get so drunk they can’t fly
G                  D                 G
From smelling that good old mountain dew
