TEXIAN STOMPING GROUNDS
* . oY
Sent my brown jug down town,
Sent my brown jug down town,
Sent my brown jug down town,
So early in the morning.
It came back with a waltz around,
It came back with a waltz around,
It came back with a waltz around,
So early in the morning.
Railroad, steamboat, rivers, and canals;
Lost my true lover on the raging canal.
Oh, she's gone, gone, gone,
Oh, she's gone, gone, gone,
Oh, she's gone, gone, gone,
Oh, she's gone on that raging canal.
Let her go, go, go,
Let her go, go, go,
Let her go, go, go,
Let her go, 'cause I got me another gal.
This same dance is played to other words that are to the tune
of "For He's a Jolly Good-Fellow."
Let's all go down to see Rowzer,
Let's all go down to see Rowzer,
Let's all go down to see Rowzer,
To get a bottle of beer.94
