Thread Name: Lyr Req: Goodbye Liza Jane
Subject: ADD Version: Goodbye Liza Jane
Nobody's posting on here anymore, but I feel like posting the version we're singing in choir xD

GOODBYE LIZA JANE

Hey, ho the boatmen row!
Floating down the river on the Ohio
Hey, ho the boatmen row!
Floating down the river on the Ohio

Charlotte Town's burning down
Good-bye, good-bye
Burning down to the ground
Good-bye Liza Jane

Ain'tcha mighty sorry?
Good-bye, good-bye
Ain'tcha mighty sorry?
Good-bye Liza Jane

Black my boots and-a make them shine
Good-bye, good-bye
Black my boots and-a make them shine
Good-bye Liza Jane

Ain'tcha mighty sorry?
Good-bye, good-bye
Ain'tcha mighty sorry?
Good-bye Liza Jane

There's a gal in Baltimore
Good-bye, good-bye
Silver doorplate on her door
Lil Liza Jane

((now, here's where it gets a little weird with the sopranos and altos singing different parts)

Ain'tcha mighty sorry? (Oh, Eliza)
Good-bye, good bye (That lil Liza Jane)
Ain'tcha mighty sorry? (Oh, Eliza)
Good-bye Liza Jane

And then it repeats the first verse and the chorus and ta-da it's done.
