Poor Liza Lyrics - The Weavers

Poor Liza, poor girl, oh Liza Jane 

Poor Liza, poor girl, she died on the train 

You go down the new cut road 

I'll go down the lane 

You can hug an old fence post 

I'll hug Liza Jane 

Poor Liza, poor girl, oh Liza Jane 

Poor Liza, poor girl, she died on the train 

Poor Liza, poor girl, oh Liza Jane 

Poor Liza, poor girl, she died on the train 

Somebody stole my old bull dog 

And I'd wish they'd bring him back 

He run the big hogs over the fence 

And the little one through the crack 

Poor Liza, poor girl, oh Liza Jane 

Poor Liza, poor girl, she died on the train 

Somebody stole my old blue hen 

And I'd wish they'd let it be 

She laid two eggs everyday 

And suddenly she laid three 

Poor Liza, poor girl, oh Liza Jane 

Poor Liza, poor girl, she died on the train 

Poor Liza, poor girl, oh Liza Jane 

Poor Liza, poor girl, she died on the train 

I'm gonna get me sticks and mud 

To build my chimney higher 

To get that goddam Worton cat 

For putting out my fire 

Poor Liza, poor girl, oh Liza Jane 

Poor Liza, poor girl, she died on the train 

Poor Liza, poor girl, oh Liza Jane 

Poor Liza, poor girl, she died on the train
