ShOVE AROUND THE JUG

 

Shove around the jug me boys, chorus 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


Shove around the jug me boys, chorus 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


Shove around the jug me boys, chorus 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


Shove around the jug me boys, chorus 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


Shove around the jug me boys, chorus 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


Shove around the jug me boys, chorus 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


Shove around the jug me boys, chorus around the room
We're the boys that fear no noise, although we're far from home
