Bluegrass Songs - Little Liza Jane

Little Liza Jane

There's a house in Baltimore
Sixteen stories high
And every story in that house
Was full of chicken pie

    Oh Liza, poor girl
    Oh Liza Jane
    Oh Liza, poor girl
    She died on the train

I went up on the mountain
To give my horn a blow
And every girl in the countryside
Said yonder comes my beau

  * Refrain

When I was a little boy
I liked to go in swimming
Now I am a bigger boy
I like to go with women

  * Refrain

I wish I had a candy box
To put my sweetheart in
I'd take her out and kiss her twice
And put her back again

  * Refrain

One day I set a-courting
A girl as dear as life
When a woman ahe said to me
Mr.Jones, how is your wife
  * Refrain
