Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Charlotte Town
Judy Henski recorded it in the early 60's on her High Flyin' Bird album.
She sang the following lyrics:

Charlotte Town is burning down
Goodbye and a bye-bye
Burning down to the ground
Goodbye Liza Jane

Chorus
Ain't cha mighty sorry
Goodbye and a bye-bye
Ain't cha mighty sorry
Goodbye Liza Jane

Now Liza Jane had dress of red
Goodbye and a bye-bye
Queen of hearts or so it's said
Goodbye Liza Jane

Chorus

Now Liza Jane had eyes of blue
Gb & a bb
Stole all my money and my good man too
Gb L J

Chorus

Now Liza Jane had a glance of green
Gb & a bb
Meanest gal yuh ever seen
Gb L J

Chorus

Now Liza Jane had a soul of black
Gb & a bb
She's gone away and she won't come back
Good riddan
