Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Charlotte Town
In my opinion this song looks like an old fairy tale ther're many versions and no one's sure which is the right one in my chorus class we're singing

Charlotte town's burnin' down
Goodbye, goodbye
Burnin' down to the ground
Goodbye, Liza Jane

Ain'tcha mighty sorry ain'tcha mighty sorry
Goodbye, Liza Jane

Black my boots and a make them shine
Goodbye, goodbye
Black my boots and a make them shine
Goodbye, Liza Jane

There's a gal in Baltimore
Goodbye, goodbye
Silver doorplate on her door
Goodbye, Liza Jane

Ohhhh, Eliza
That li'l Liza Jane
Oh Elizaaaaaaaaaaa
Goodbye, Liza Jane

Lizaaaaaa Jaaaane
Floatin' down the river on the O-hi-o
