Lyrics
LITTLE LIZA JANE
Little Liza Jane, don't you call my name,
in the darkness, before you sleep.
Little Liza Jane, don't you know my name,
I'm the summer breeze, that blows through your summer window.
When you look down the road, I'll be gone.
CHORUS
Little Liza, Little, Liza Jane,
Little Liza Jane, Little Liza Jane, Little Liza Jane.
You see I've come around,
And, I'm not leave'n this town,
Ti'l we go out and play.
Little Liza Jane, Don't you know my name,
I'm Justin Willie Brown.
And, I come to your little old town,
In the summer time,
when the leaves and the fields all rhyme.
I'm in for a weekend of fun, Don't you run away from me.
No? Little Liza,
I'm in for some fun,
Little Liza? Jane, Little Liza Jane.
When the day begins,
I'll be knock'n at your front door.
Yes, the day will begin, And, I'll come knock'n at your door.
And, we'll go out and play, Until the light goes down,
The light goes down.
You see, I hear there's a parade on today.
And, I don't want to see us miss it.
No, I don't want to see us miss'm anymore.
There's a day, where we can play,
Ti'l the cows? come home.
CHORUS
Little Liza, little, little Liza Jane,
Little Liza Jane, little Liza Jane, Little Liza Jane.
You see I've come around.
And, I'm not leav'n this town,
Ti'l we go out and play. Ti'l we go out and play.
