Little Brown Jug
Me and my wife live all alone
In a little log hut we call our own ;
She loves gin and I love rum,
And don’t we have a lot of fun !
Ha, ha, ha, you and me,
Little brown jug, don’t I love thee !
Ha, ha, ha, you and me,
Little brown jug, don’t I love thee !
When I go toiling on the farm
I take the little jug under my arm ;
Place it under a shady tree,
Little brown jug,’tis you and me.
Ha, ha, ha, you and me,
Little brown jug, don’t I love thee !
Ha, ha, ha, you and me,
Little brown jug, don’t I love thee !
’Tis you that makes me friends and foes,
’Tis you that makes me wear old clothes ;
But, seeing you’re so near my nose,
Tip her up and down she goes.
Ha, ha, ha, you and me,
Little brown jug, don’t I love thee !
Ha, ha, ha, you and me,
Little brown jug, don’t I love thee !
If all the folks in Adam’s race
Were gathered together in one place,
I’d let them go without a tear
Before I’d part from you, my dear.
Ha, ha, ha, you and me,
Little brown jug, don’t I love thee !
Ha, ha, ha, you and me,
Little brown jug, don’t I love thee !
If I’d a cow that gave such milk,
I’d dress her in the finest silk ;
Feed her up on oats and hay,
And milk her twenty times a day.
Ha, ha, ha, you and me,
Little brown jug, don’t I love thee !
Ha, ha, ha, you and me,
Little brown jug, don’t I love thee !
I bought a cow from Farmer Jones,
And she was nothing but skin and bones ;
I fed her up as fine as silk,
She jumped the fence and strained her milk.
Ha, ha, ha, you and me,
Little brown jug, don’t I love thee !
Ha, ha, ha, you and me,
Little brown jug, don’t I love thee !
And when I die don’t bury me at all,
Just pickle my bones in alcohol ;
Put a bottle o’ booze at my head and feet
And then I know that I will keep.
Ha, ha, ha, you and me,
Little brown jug, don’t I love thee !
Ha, ha, ha, you and me,
Little brown jug, don’t I love thee !
The rose is red, my nose is too,
The violet’s blue and so are you ;
And yet, I guess, before I stop,
We’d better take another drop.
Ha, ha, ha, you and me,
Little brown jug, don’t I love thee !
Ha, ha, ha, you and me,
Little brown jug, don’t I love thee !
