Tug Hill

Tug Hill, sometimes referred to as the Tug Hill Plateau, is an upland region in upstate New York in the United States, famous for heavy winter snows. The Tug Hill region is east of Lake Ontario, north of Oneida Lake and west of the Adirondack Mountains. The region is separated from the Adirondacks by the Black River Valley.

Although the region has traditionally been known as the Tug Hill plateau because its top is flat, it is actually not a plateau. Technically, Tug Hill could more accurately be called a cuesta since it is actually composed of sedimentary rocks that tip up on one side, rising from about 350 feet (110 m) on the west to over 2,000 feet (610 m) in the east.

It covers portions of four Upstate New York counties: Jefferson, Lewis, Oneida, and Oswego.

Geographic scope

The Tug Hill region comprises an expansive ring of rural and agricultural outlying areas surrounding a sparsely-populated "core" region. The majority of the region's population is concentrated in villages that are situated primarily at the region's outer edge.

Peppermint Man

by: Dick Dale

Mr. Peppermint Man, oh yeah (Peppermint Man)
It was his name (was his name)
Every girl he loved (girl he loved)
Well, he left her in vain (left her in vain)
Oh now, Mr. Peppermint Man
Peppermint Man
Every girl he loved now he left her in vain
Now well, you know him
and when you see him
by his striped shirt
He carries a real sign
Says "Have love will hurt"
Oh, Mr. Peppermint Man (Peppermint Man)
Peppermint Man (Peppermint Man)
Every girl he loved now he left her in vain
I once had a true love
She was faithful and true
There wasn't anything
That she, she wouldn't do
Yeah, 'til one day I come along (day I came along)
And took her by her hand (took her by her hand)
And said "Darling, my name is the Peppermint Man"
And he followed and followed his plan
And fall into the trap of the
Pepper-Peppermint Man
Mr. Peppermint Man (Peppermint Man)
Peppermint Man (Peppermint Man)
Every girl he loved now he left her in vain
Pepper, Pepper, Pepper
