Subject: Lyr Add: LITTLE LIZA JANE From: Joe Offer Date: 30 Dec 98 - 10:27 PM Well, I found this at Kididdles, which is a pretty good site for kids' lyrics. Doesn't have the verse you're looking for, though. Personally, I prefer the version that's in our database (click here). -Joe Offer- Little Liza JaneI got a house in Baltimore,Little Liza Jane, Street cars running by my door, Little Liza Jane. (clap) Oh, Eliza, Little Liza Jane, (clap) Oh, Eliza, Little Liza Jane. Brussels carpet on my floor, Little Liza Jane, Silver doorplate by my door, Little Liza Jane. (clap) Oh, Eliza, Little Liza Jane, (clap) Oh, Eliza, Little Liza Jane. Come, my love, and be with me, Little Liza Jane, Let me take good care of thee, Little Liza Jane. (clap) Oh, Eliza, Little Liza Jane, (clap) Oh, Eliza, Little Liza Jane. |
Subject: RE: kids version of Liza Jane (lyrics wanted) From: Lucy Kemnitzer Date: 31 Dec 98 - 03:54 AM The version of "Little Liza Jane" in the database is sung to a different tune from the version Joe Offer quotes in the post, so it doesn't help the person who wants more verses for it. As long as we're preferring Liza Jane songs, the one I like is the one that goes "whoopee Eliza, pretty little girl/whoopee Eliza Jane/whoopee Eliza, pretty little girl/she died on the train." I've decided that it must really be "she 'rived on the train," because she's not dead in the song. Anyway, it has a kind of counter-chorus I find compelling and witty: peach is like a cherry cherry like a rose how I like that pretty little girl goodness gracious knows The tune's prettier than either of those others too.

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Little Liza Jane (kids' version) From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 05 Dec 07 - 10:44 PM Af-Am version, collected by Natalie Curtis-Burlin, published 1919. Lyr. Add: 'LIZA-JANE ("Stealin' Partners," Dance-song game) Come ma love an' go wid me, L'il 'Liza Jane Come ma love an' go wid me, L'il 'Liza Jane.

As this is a dance-song, dynamics are all broad, and consist chiefly in vociferous rhythmic accentuation. "O, Miss 'Liza" is sometimes sung..." on* pronounced 'ohn.' The provenance is not stated, but it may have been a song of the Calhoun Industrial School, which in some respects was modeled on the Hampton Institute. Natalie Curtis-Burlin, 1918-19, "Negro Folk-Songs, The Hampton Series, Book IV, Work and Play-songs, pp. 158-167, with score. Dover reprint, 2001. This dance-song is the precurser of the New Orleans marching song "L'il Liza Jane," set into sheet music by Countess Ada de Lachau and played by Earl Fuller (recording on Red Hot Jazz, see thread 152. Little Liza Jane Ada de Lachau set several children's songs. |
