More notes from L.A. Harrison. Next to Perrow's 41G, "Liza Jane," Harrison wrote, "The negroes sing this at the old fashioned dances they have." Next to Perrow's 2B, "When I Die" (with its lyrics about "Natural born... don't have to work... tail of my shirt"), Harrison wrote, "I heard one singing this as he was carried to the calaboose."
