GUEST,Bud Savoie Lyr Req: Charlotte Town (36) Lyr Add: CHARLOTTE TOWN / GOODBYE LIZA JANE 15 Sep 00


The New Christy Minstrels never did a song without messing it up for their audience's consumption. I used to sing this song with the following words:

Charlotte Town is burning down, goodbye, bye-bye.
Burning down to the ground, Goodbye, Liza Jane.

CHORUS: Oh, how I miss you, Ain't that a shame.
Oh, how I miss you, Goodbye Liza Jane.

Liza Jane had a dress of red, Goodbye, bye-bye.
Queen of hearts, or so she said, Goodbye, Liza Jane.

CHORUS

Liza Jane's about half grown, Goodbye, &c.
Jumps on a man like a dog on a bone, Goodbye, &c.

I've got a gal and a hound dog too, Goodbye, &c.
She don't bite, but the hound dog do, Goodbye, &c.

Liza Jane, countin' her toes, Goodbye, &c.
You can smell her feet wherever she goes, Goodbye, &c.

Liza Jane's pretty as a rose, Goodbye, &c.
Bites her nails and picks her nose, Goodbye, &c.
