In a little log hut we're all 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
'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
If all the folks in Adam's race
Were gathered together in one place
Then I'd prepare to shed a tear
(I'd let them go without a tear)
Before I'd part from you, my dear
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
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
And when I die don't bury me at all
Just pickle my bones in alcohol
I'ut a bottle o' booze at my head and feet
And then I know that I will keep
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
Me and my wife live all alone In a little log hut we're all 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 '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 If all the folks in Adam's race Were gathered together in one place Then I'd prepare to shed a tear (I'd let them go without a tear) Before I'd part from you, my dear 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 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 And when I die don't bury me at all Just pickle my bones in alcohol I'ut a bottle o' booze at my head and feet And then I know that I will keep 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 Explain Request ×
