Verses:

My wife and I lived all alone, In a little log hut we called our own;

How she loved gin and I loved rum, I tell you what we'd lot's of fun.

 

The rose is red, my nose is too, Pretty violets blue and so are you,

And yet I guess before I stop, We'd better take another drop.

 

Me and my wife and a bob tailed dog, Tried to cross the creek on a holler log,

The holler log broke and wife went chug, But I caught a hold of my little brown jug.

 

Chorus:

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.
