Nathan Sarvis Origins: Goodbye Liza Jane (69* d) RE: Goodbye Liza Jane 20 Sep 97


The "new made road" verse reminds me of one William A. Owens collected for "Sally Goodin" in his book "Tell me a story, sing me a song". Sal went up the public road I went up behind her; She stooped down to tie her shoe And I seen her sausage grinder. He relates how, at a gypsy show, the singer "left the ladies shocked and the men laughing" after singing only the first line, then leaving the stage, leaving the audience to fill in the rest with their imaginations.
