Subject: Add Version: Goodbye Miss Liza Jane
GOODBYE MISS LIZA JANE

1: Look here Liza listen to me
Say you're not the girl you promised to be
Didn't you say you'd always be true
You went out a runnin with Mr Brown
I am the laughing stock of the town
People say to never trust you.

Chorus: Throw up your hands ma'am I'm a gonna go
I was a good man while I had to go, So
Goodbye Miss Liza I'm gonna leave you
You'll know when I go I was the feller with the do do do.
Sing a little song travel along
Leave me good day maam I'm on my way
Goodbye miss Liza Jane.

2: Give me here my gold watch and chain
Give me my umbrella case it might rain
Give me the clothes that I paid for too
Check me in the trunk and hand me those things
Give me back my gold diamond ring
You can get Mr Brown to dress you all up new.

ver1:

Look a' here, Liza, listen to me;
You ain't the gal you promised to be;
Didn't you say you always would be true, oo, oo, oo, oo?
You went a driving with Mister Brown;
Now I'm the laughing stock of the town;
Folks say that I was crazy to trust you, oo, oo, oo, oo.
Throw up my hands babe, I'se gwine to go;
Can't stand the blow; I loved you so;
I was the good thing while I had the "dough"
Now I must whisper low:

Chorus: "Good bye, Eliza Jane, I'm gwine a' for to leave you!
Well, you'll know when I go,
that I was the fellow with the "dough, dough, dough;"
so I'm gwine for to sing a little song,
And travel a long, just travel a long
Wish you good day, Babe, I'm on my way, Good bye Eliza Jane."

Look a' here, Liza, take off those rings;
Dig in that trunk, gal; hand me those things;
I'm gwine to take the clothes I paid for, too, oo, oo, oo, oo!
Cough up that old gold watch, and de chain;
Wants that umbrella, cause it might rain;
Ask Mister Brown to fix you up all new, oo, oo, oo, oo.
Rent time is here, babe; landlord today;
I'll be away; who's gwine to pay?
P'r'aps Mister Brown will if he's a jay,
Once more to you I say:

ver2:

Looka here Liza, listen to me,
You're not the gal that you promised to be,
Didn't you say you'd always be true?
You went out driving (with) Mr. Brown,
I am the laughing stock of the town.
People said to never trust you.

Chorus: Throw up my hands babe, I'm a gonna go,
I was a good man while I had the dough,
So it's good bye, Miss Liza, I'm going to leave you.
You know when I go, I'm the fellow with the dough, dough, dough.
So sing a little song, travel along, yes, travel along,
Bid you good day, babe, I'm on the way.
Goodbye, sweet Liza Jane.

Give me here my gold watch and chain,
Give me your umbrella, said it might rain,
Give me the clothes that I paid for too.
Dig in the trunk, and hand me them things.
Give me here my diamond ring
And ask Mr. Brown the dress you up all new.

Chorus, then repeat last five lines of chorus
