According to Don Kent's liner notes for the excellent jug-band compilation Ruckus Juice & Chittlins, by the year 1900, there was a group called the Cy Anderson Jug Band playing in the streets of Louisville, Kentucky.
By the time he got to talking about "feeling the fire", he had managed to ease his slimy self up to me and push his hands from my shoulder to the side of my breast while he tried to press that raggedy sack of chittlins between his legs into me hip bone [like I was honestly supposed to feel something].
