LITTLE BROWN JUG Sung by: Lowell Harness Recorded in Mountain Home, AR 6/15/63 Click here to listen to the original recording With the little brown jug under my arm, I picked her up, and I give her a pull. When I get through, the jug’s half full. Chorus: Oh, ho, ho, you and me, Little brown jug, do I love thee! Me and my wife and the old coon dog Crossed the creek on a hickory log. The log, it broke, and we got wet, All but the old coon dog, you bet. (Chorus) Picked her up, and I give her a pull; When I got through, the jug’s half full. Also found in Randolph, Vol. III, #408; Brown, Vol. III, #33; Belden, p. 261. |
