Eliv>a Jane
3. I'll go up on the mountain top, Put out me a moonshine still; I'll sell you a quart of old moonshine Just for one dollar bill. Chorus 4.1 will eat when I am hungry And drink when I am dry; If a tree don't fall on me, I'll live until I die. Chorus 5.1 went to see my Liza Jane;
She was standing in the door; Her shoes and stockings in her hand And her feet all over the floor. Chorus 6. The hardest work that ever I did Was a-breaking on the train; The easiest work that ever I did Was a huggin' Liza Jane. Chorus

1. Woa, mule, woa, mule, Woa, mule, I say.
1 ain't got time to kiss you, I'm busy with my mule.
Chorus Po' little Liza, my po' gal; Po' litde Liza, my po' gal; Po' little Liza, my po' gal; She died upon a train.
2. When I go a-fishing,
I go with a hook and line; When I go a-marrying, 1 go with a willing mind. Chorus
