Subject: Origins: Shove Around the Jug
Doug Olsen sang this:

Shove around the jug me boys
Around the room
We're the boys that fear no noise
Although we're far from home
I courted a girl in Albany
One in Montreal
One in Philadelphy
But the best in Lewiston Falls
So shove around the jug me boys
Around the room
We're the boys that fear no noise
Although we're far from home
When you get to Albany
Give the girls a call
There's not a tart to be compared
With the ones from Lewiston Falls
So shove around the jug me boys
Around the room
We're the boys that fear no noise
Although we're far from home
When I came on from Ireland
I was just a lad
But working these canal boats
Is the only life I've had
So shove around the jug me boys
Around the room
We're the boys that fear no noise
Although we're far from home
A dollar in the tavern
Is very easy spent
If I'd had it in Ireland
I'd have to pay down rent
So shove around the jug me boys
Around the room
We're the boys that fear no noise
Although we're far from home
Amsterdam or Liverpool
Rome or Syracuse
You'd ever been to Lewiston Falls
It's the only place you'd choose
So shove around the jug me boys
Around the room
We're the boys that fear no noise
Although we're far from home
A drunkard in the tavern
A fish is in the sea
The cork is in the bottle
But the whiskey is in me
So shove around the jug me boys
Around the room
We're the boys that fear no noise
Although we're far from home
Oh shove around the jug me boys
Around the room
We're the boys that fear no noise
Although we're far from home
