Here’s a playful Clancy Brother’s tune, which is more fun to sing with a harmony than solo.
Don’t forget, I’ll be playing two shows on St. Patrick’s Day this Saturday:
- Noon to 4 PM at the grand opening of the Black Rose in Lansing, MI – info
- 5:30- 8:30 at Lu & Carl’s in Brighton, MI – info
Mountain Dew – Clancy Brothers
Capo 7
Let grasses (G) grow and (C) waters flow in a (G) free and (D) easy (G) way,
But give me (G) enough of the (C) rare old stuff (G) that’s brewed near (D) Galway (G) Bay,
And (G) policemen all from (G) Donegal, Sligo and Leitrim (Em) too,
Oh, we’ll (G) give them the slip and we’ll (C) take a sip
Of the (G) rare old (D) Mountain (G) Dew
Chorus
Hi (G) di-diddly-idle-dum, diddly- (C) doodle-idle-um,
diddly-(G) doo-ri (D) diddlum (G) deh

The Juice of the Barley – Clancy Brothers
Capo 3
In the (G) sweet county Limerick one (C) cold winter’s (G) night
all the (G) turf fires were burning when I (C) first saw the (D7) light
and a (G) drunken old midwife went (C) tipsy with (G) joy
as she (G) danced round the room with a (C) slip of a (D7) boy
Singin’ (G) ban-ya na mo if an (C) ga-na (G) and the Juice of the (D7) Barley for (G) me.’

Whiskey You’re the Devil – Clancy Brother’s
Whiskey [C] you’re the devil, you’re [F] leadin’ me astray [C]
Over [F] hills and [C] mountains and [G] to Americae
You’re [C] sweeter, stronger, decenter,
[F] you’re spunkier than tae [F]
O [C] whiskey, you’re my darlin’ drunk or [G] sober [C]
Oh, [C] now, brave boys, we’re on the march [C]
and off [G] to Portugal and [F] Spain
The [C] drums are beating, banners flying,
the devil [G] ahome will come tonight
[C] Love, fare thee well,
[C] with me tithery eye the doodelum the da
[G] Me tithery eye the doodelum the [F] da,
[C] Me rikes fall tour a laddie oh
There’s [G] whiskey in the [C] jar. Hey!
Chorus
Said the mother: [C] “Do not wrong me,
don’t take my [G] daughter [F] from me
For if [C] you do I will torment you,
[Am] and after death a ghost will haunt you
[C] Love, fare thee well,
[C] with me tithery eye the doodelum the da
[G] Me tithery eye the doodelum the [F] da,
[C] Me rikes fall tour a laddie oh
There’s [G] whiskey in the [C] jar. Hey!
Chorus
[C] The French are fighting boldly,
[G] men dying hot and [F] coldly
[C] Gives ev’ry man his flask of powder,
[Am] his farlock on his shoulder
[C] Love, fare thee well,
[C] with me tithery eye the doodelum the da
[G] Me tithery eye the doodelum the [F] da,
[C] Me rikes fall tour a laddie oh
There’s [G] whiskey in the [C] jar. Hey!
