I was having a discussion on this subject with Jeff Warner, who introduced "Boys, Shove Your Grog Around" [RAFTSMAN'S SONG] as the only traditional American Drinking song he knew. I countered with "Johnny, fill up the bowl" [FOR BALES], "RYE WHISKEY", "LITTLE BROWN JUG", "MOUNTAIN DEW" and "FAREWELL TO GROG"Looking particularly for others that were current in the 19th Century. While I agree that there's no U.S. drinking song tradition to compare with those of England, Ireland, Scotland and Germany, I also think that there should be some others.
Suggestions?
