Palmetto Bug Stompers - Lil Brown Jug (Lyrics)

"Little Brown Jug" is a song written in 1869 by Joseph Winner. It was originally a drinking song. It remained well known as a folk song into the early 20th century. Like many songs which make reference to alcoholic beverages, it enjoyed new popularity during the Prohibition era. In 1939, bandleader Glenn Miller recorded and broadcast his swing instrumental arrangement of the tune with great success, and the number became one of the best known orchestrations of the American Big Band era.
The Palmetto Bug Stompers are one of the finest purveyors of traditional and New Orleans jazz. With a wide and varied background of musical influences, the Bugs get the crowd up and make 'em swing.
The original song's lyrics are about a man and his wife and their hard life due to alcoholism; however, the tone and tune are bright and cheerful.
"Lil Brown Jug" song belongs to the Live @ D.B.A. album (2009)
