Verses:

I know a place 'bout a mile down the road,

Where you lay down a dollar or two.

If you hush up your mug, they will slip you a jug,

Of that good old Mountain Dew.

 

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

Chorus:

They call it that good old Mountain Dew, (Dew) (Dew)

And them that refuse it are few.

You may go 'round the bend, but you'll come back again,

For that good old Mountain Dew.
