May be you're looking for "Charleston town is burning down" by Randy Sparks and the New Christy Minstrels on their album, Advance To The Rear, which is the sound track to the movie of the same name.

CHORUS: Charleston town is burning down. Don't cry! Don't cry!
Cotton bolls are turning brown. Good-bye, Liza Jane. (Repeat)

I'm gonna get my musket. Don't cry! Don't cry!
I'm gonna get my musket. Good-bye, Liza Jane.

Where will I be in the morning? Don't cry! Don't cry!
Where will I be in the morning? Good-bye, Liza Jane.

There are a few more verses to this song. Unfortunately, I don't remember all of them. If I can recall any more of them, I'll post the rest later.
