What is the name of that Pogues song?

Question

I've not listened to it for a few years, but the bloke is singing about making alchohol or that irish drink Puching (sorry about spelling) and stuff in the hills of ireland. Shane Mcgowan was not singing on it it was someone else.
I think it was track number 16, but i cant remember the album or name of the song?

Answer 1

The album is called If I Should Fall From Grace With God and the song is called Mountain Dew

Answer 2

Is this it?


THE POGUES lyrics - "The Rare Ould Mountain Dew"


www.OldieLyrics.com



Let grasses grow and waters flow
In a free and easy way,
But give me enough of the rare old stuff
That's made near Galway Bay,
Come gangers all from Donegal,
Sligo and Leitrim too,
Oh, we'll give the slip and we'll take a sip
Of the rare old Mountain Dew

Hi the dithery al the dal, dal the dal the dithery al, al the dal, dal dithery al dee
Hi the dithery al the dal, dal the dal the dithery al, dal the dal, dal dithery al dee

There's a neat little still at the foot of the hill,
Where the smoke curls up to the sky,
By a whiff of the smell you can plainly tell
That there's poitin, boys, close by.
For it fills the air with a perfume rare,
And betwixt both me and you,
As home we roll, we can drink a bowl,
Or a bucketful of Mountain Dew

Now learned men as use the pen,
Have writ the praises high
Of the rare poitin from Ireland green,
Distilled from wheat and rye.
Away with yer pills, it'll cure all ills,
Be ye Pagan, Christian or Jew,
So take off your coat and grease your throat
With a bucketful of Mountain Dew
