Thread Name: Lyr Req: Charlotte Town
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Charlotte Town
What I learned was this:

Charlotte's Town is burning down, goodbye, goodbye.
Burning down to the ground, goodbye Liza Jane.
Aintcha mighty sorry? Goodbye, goodbye.
Aintcha mighty sorry? Goodbye Liza Jane.

And the boatman song was completely different.

Hi-ho the boatmen go, up and down the river on the Ohio. x2

Boatmen dance and the boatmen sing
And the boatmen do most anything.
When the boatmen come on the shore,
They spend their money and they work for more.

Hi-ho the boatmen go, up and down the river on the Ohio. x2

Ever see where the boatmen live?
It's a house on the harbor and it leaks like a sieve
Boatman says if he has one wish,
If it doesn't get better he'll soon be a fish!
