The Little Brown Jug [Russian translation]

(Couplet 1:)

My wife and I lived all alone

In a little log hut we called our own

She loved gin and I loved rum

I tell you what, we'd lots of fun

(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

(Couplet 2:)

'Tis you who makes my friends my foes

'Tis you who makes me wear old clothes

Here you are, so near my nose

So tip her up and down she goes

(Chorus:)

(Couplet 3:)

When I go toiling on the farm

I take the little Brown Jug" under my arm

I place it under a shady tree

Little "Brown Jug", 'tis you and me

(Chorus:)

(Couplet 4:)

If all the folks in Adam's race

Were gathered together in one place

Then I'd prepare to shed a tear

Before I'd part from you, my dear

(Chorus:)

(Couplet 5:)

If I'd a cow that gave such milk

I'd clothe her in the finest silk

I'd feed her on the choicest hay

And milk her twenty times a day

(Chorus:)

(Couplet 6:)

The rose is red, my nose is too

The violets blue and so are you

And yet, I guess, before I stop

We'd better take another drop

(Chorus:)х2
