Raging Canoe

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 (3x)
So early in the morning.

Railroad, steamboat, river and canoe*
Lost my true love, don't know what to do
Let her go, go, go
Let her go, go, go
Let her go on the raging canoe.

Note: Play-party game. Contra set; first couple down the center
separately, dance back together, cast off into circles (opposite
directions), pass partner, pick up next. Return to set with new
head couple.
