But who is/was Steve?
The Swedish songwriter Bellman, who was on the go c.1800, wrote one about Noah, "Gubban Noak". Adam McNaughtan rendered it into Glaswegian as "Old Man Noah". It describes how Noah (allegedly) planted vines all over the earth to provide wine for people to drink, and how Mrs Noah "Let her man go drinking".
