Thread Name: Lyr Req: Goodbye Liza Jane
Subject: RE: lyrics: Goodby Liza Jane
Well, Ben,

One I learned many, many years ago in England (from Derek Brimstone, as I recall, with pen and notebook in my hand), went:

Scarlet town is burning down,
Goodbye, goodbye
Scarlet town is burning down,
Goodbye, Liza Jane.

Ch: Ain't you feeling sorry,
Goodbye, goodbye
Ain't you feeling sorry,
Goodbye, Liza Jane.

Liza Jane is dead and gone, goodbye..
But in my heart she still lives on...

I added a verse for the middle, but it ain't the way I first heard it, and since it may not be the song you want I'll not add it here. That's the way I learned it.
