"Hug the greens" simply means to hug the side of the channel where the green markers are.
That's how I've always heard it used, never heard it refer to the running lights.

Mark, I didn't want your barge to head down hill...

I've got a friend who is a towboat captain on the Mississippi. He says, "Always call on the VHF"...and when he says overtake on two whistles, he means you should turn to port to pass.
And I also learned that waiting for commercial traffic to pass by staying in shallow water at a bend is not always a good idea. I've seen the pusher nudge the bank with the lead barge to negotiate a turn.
"On the one" you will be on the right.
"On the two" you will be on the left
