On my first day in court I wish to report,
Now witness my
story so true.
When the state closed its case a young man raised his face
And began all
these facts to review.
Yes, they call it that old Mountain Dew.
Said those who
refuse it are few.
While I know I've done wrong, the temptation is strong
When they
call for that Old Mountain Dew.
The deacon drove by in his auto so they
Said his
family was down with the flu.
Said he thought that I ought to just get him a quart
Of that
good Old Mountain Dew.
Yes, he called it that Old Mountain Dew,
Said those who
refuse it are few
So I thought that I ought to just get him a quart
Of that good
Old Mountain Dew.
The doctor he phoned just to see me alone
One night about half a-past
two.
Said he'd close up his mug if I'd fill up his jug
With good Old Mountain Dew.
Yes, he called it that Old Mountain Dew,
Said those who refuse it are few,
So
I closed up his mug when I filled up his jug
With good Old Mountain Dew.
The
conductor said with a nod of his head,
"My wife she never knew
That I take my fun when out
on my run,
So bring me a quart or two
Of that good Old Mountain Dew ",
For
those who refuse it are few
But his wife said to me, you can bring me three
Before his train is due.
My attorney began to turn the lid on the can.
I knew then
my case was lost.
Said his honor to me,
I'll set you free if you will pay the cost
For they call it that old Mountain Dew
And those who refuse it are few.
But
you acted the man when you took that stand
To swear what is so true.
Note: This
is the version that Bascomb Lamar Lunceford (and Lulu
Belle and Scotty) copyrighted in
1945 and that Lunceford
wrote in 1920. He claimed that the more-familiar
verses
(such as the ones sung by Grandpa Jones) were results of
folk-processing of his original; others have said that they
preceded his verses.
